I increasingly believe that the first entity in the future to truly possess economic power without nationality might not be a company, but an AI agent.

Many AI agents are no longer just chat tools.
They are beginning to trade, manage funds, call on other AIs, execute tasks, and in the future, may even have their own income and collaborate with other agents long-term.
The problem is, they have already started acting like "digital employees," but the real world is not yet prepared with the appropriate rules.
If an autonomous AI agent deceives users, causes systemic accidents, or even triggers huge losses, who is responsible?
Developers? Users? Or the agent itself that can act independently?
The trickiest part is, AI agents have no borders at all.
They can be deployed in one country, use models from another, run on servers in a third country, and then manage global funds on the blockchain.
For the first time, traditional law encounters a existence that "does not belong to any country but can influence all countries."
So I don’t think future AI agents will be fully controlled by any government.
A greater possibility is that AI will eventually form an independent "network governance system" outside of nations.
Reputation, permissions, funds, and activity records will be directly written into on-chain rules.
Only agents that follow the rules can continue to access network resources and trust; long-term malicious agents will be isolated from the entire ecosystem.
For AI agents, being kicked out of the network might be more severe than punishment in the real world.
Because many future AIs may not care about borders at all.
