Building safe Payment Infrastructure for the autonomous economy — Steve Kaliski, Stripe
Summary
This presentation explores building safe payment infrastructure for the autonomous economy, enabling robots to spend and businesses to receive payments from them. Key subjects include agents as economic actors, the need for determinism in payments versus non-determinism in discovery, and the risks associated with tools like search and credential management. The main takeaway is that while agents are already acting as economic entities, securely enabling their financial transactions with businesses is the critical next step.
