Our take
AI agents are getting smarter and starting to run parts of the internet economy. But when things do wrong, there's no easy way to resolve disputes. Traditional courts are jus too slow and not built for machines making split-second decisions.
GenLayer is building a decentralized court system run by AI. Validators use different Ai models to vote on outcomes, and tough cases can be appealed with bigger juries. Think of it like a digital legal system built for the speed of machines.
It's still early days, but with its first testnet live and tools like Rally already running, GenLayer could become key in how AI-powered systems settle disagreements. As the AI economy grows, this kind of infrastructure may be a must-have.
