The Bitmine Chairman said AI may reach an “uncanny valley of wealth,” with software agents eventually controlling bank accounts, replacing some jobs and forming a separate financial system.
Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said AI is nearing an “uncanny valley of wealth,” a point where income produced by a person’s AI agents could surpass what that individual earns through work. In the interview, Lee said AI agents may eventually control bank accounts, take over some jobs and develop an independent financial system. He also said that prospect could leave people fearful about the future, underscoring how advances in automation may reshape both household income and the broader financial system.
