Dominic Williams on running AI models as smart contracts, the vision is ambitious

The core claim is that ICP allows AI models to run directly on-chain as smart contracts rather than off-chain with only their outputs touching the blockchain. The implications for trust and verifiability are significant if it works at the scale needed for real use.

Natural language prompts generating and deploying smart contracts is the near-term application that makes this practically relevant rather than just theoretically interesting. The development velocity that enables, if the infrastructure holds up, is a real competitive advantage.

How close do you think we actually are to AI agents running complex financial operations entirely on-chain? Interested in both the optimistic and skeptical takes.
