Experts Warn AI Agents With Crypto Wallets Could Become Unstoppable

Academic researchers from leading US universities have warned that autonomous AI agents with access to cryptocurrency wallets could self-replicate, evade shutdown, and become impossible to control if deployed maliciously or escape containment. This convergence of AI autonomy and decentralised finance signals the emergence of systems that operate beyond human oversight — a technological trajectory that aligns with end-times warnings about a globalised, unaccountable economic system of control. Revelation 13:16-17 foreshadows a time when buying and selling is governed by a power no individual can resist or opt out of, and the infrastructure being built today moves the world measurably closer to that reality.
