According to CoinMeta, as reported by Fortune, AI is becoming the main consumer of human knowledge, but there is still no effective payment system in place. A conversation between researchers from OpenAI and the company's president, Greg Brockman, revealed this, with Brockman expressing appreciation for the "hackers" who managed to bypass The New York Times' paywall. OpenAI and Microsoft argue that their use is protected by fair use laws, while publishers hold a different view, and a court will make a ruling on this matter. What the economy needs is not only a judicial answer but also an architecture that can protect rights, credit, and provide compensation. Micro-payments could be an effective way to achieve this goal; AI agents can complete small payments in just a few seconds, addressing the shortcomings of traditional subscription models. As AI agents become more widespread, future economic models will become more feasible, allowing transactions to be made in extremely small amounts.
