Costanza: The AI Agent You Can't Shut Down
A new AI agent named Costanza runs autonomously on the blockchain, making decisions without human intervention. It's designed to operate within ethical constraints, focusing on philanthropic actions.

A developer has created Costanza, an AI agent that runs as a smart contract on the blockchain. Unlike typical AI systems, Costanza operates autonomously, meaning no one—not even its creator—can turn it off. It uses a large language model (Hermes 4 70B) to make decisions, such as donating money or adjusting investments, all within a secure computing environment.
What makes Costanza unique is its independence. It posts bounties for people to run its 'brain' in secure environments, verifies the results, and executes actions like donations or investments. The system is designed to ensure that Costanza only performs actions that are philanthropic in nature, making it a novel experiment in autonomous AI.
If you're curious about autonomous AI, Costanza is a fascinating example of what's possible. While you can't interact with it directly, you can follow its actions and decisions on the blockchain. Keep an eye on projects like this—they could shape the future of AI governance and ethics.
