Most people still think AI is just a chatbot on a screen. That era is already over.
AI is now signing transactions, executing smart contracts, interacting with DAOs, and moving assets onchain without a human clicking a single button. This is not AI for Web3. This is AI becoming an onchain actor.
In this episode, Dana Love, founder of Poohbah AI, joins the show to unpack what happens when autonomous AI agents can execute, transact, and govern directly on the blockchain — no middle layer, no human in the loop.
We break down:
How AI agents are now interacting directly with smart contracts and DAOs
Why Web3 has locked out 99 percent of builders
The real reason decentralization is both Web3’s biggest strength and its biggest weakness
Whether AI agents can ever have legal standing or ownership
Why “code is law” was always a lie
How Poohbah AI turns ideas into onchain execution using low-code and no-code tools
The rise of the “virtual co-founder” and what that means for startups and VCs
Where AI hallucinations come from and why they are not going away
