For Khan, decentralized AI is more than hype and more than abstract and more than a fashionable trend — it’s critical and it’s the future. And it can make our daily lives easier. ”I think in five years, we will have autonomous on-chain AI agents doing crypto transactions, and managing a large part of our lives,” predicts Khan. “In 5 to 10 years, managing our financial life, our emails, and the administrative hassle of things like paying bills. That can be done on-chain and natively.”
