When AI Agents Trade with AI Agents, Price Discovery Dies

Prepping & Survival

This article was originally published by Hamoon Soleimani at The Mises Institute.  Autonomous AI agents are becoming active economic participants on both sides of market transactions. Enterprise platforms now embed what vendors call “touchless operations,” with agents executing procurement decisions without human review. Blockchain networks let AI agents hold wallets, settle payments, and rebalance portfolios autonomously. Microsoft Research has already documented two-sided “agentic markets” where both buyers and sellers are AI proxies. The standard commentary praises the speed and consistency of it all. That praise is correct, and it misses something catastrophic: when both parties to a transaction are algorithms optimizing against pre-specified utility functions, the…

The author’s record is now ranked No. 7 in British Columbia and tied for 28 in the world.

Cuba Responds To Trump’s War Mongering: We Are “Not Afraid Of War”
