AI agents are increasingly used in Web3 for tasks like DeFi trading and DAO governance, aiming to boost efficiency. However, delegating decisions entirely to AI poses risks, including a lack of accountability, smart contract vulnerabilities, data manipulation, governance centralization, and opaque decision-making. This can lead to security breaches, economic instability, and ethical concerns. Best practices include maintaining human oversight, multi-layer validation, explainable AI models, and continuous monitoring. A hybrid approach, where AI supports human decision-making, ensures safer, transparent, and sustainable Web3 ecosystems, balancing innovation with long-term stability.
