AI agent disputes head to ‘Internet Court’ — and a jury of AI agents

The world is headed towards a future in which AI agents will trade stocks and crypto, shop for your family, and much more. But what happens when a bot misinterprets an instruction to buy $10K of “blue chip stocks” and instead buys $10K of Bluebird-brand frozen chips?

Low-level agent disputes like this aren’t suited to the expensive and time-consuming existing legal system. Enter Internet Court, a new protocol that enables agents and humans to enter into contracts, with funds kept in escrow until the terms are judged to have been met.

The dispute resolution mechanism baked into the process employs GenLayer, an open, delegated proof-of-stake network of validators hooked up to AI models.
