Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Michael Selig says it is \u201cno longer science fiction\u201d to imagine one\u2019s refrigerator autonomously purchasing groceries with money earned from staking Ether \u2014 or even launching its own memecoin, raising questions about how regulators should oversee autonomous AI agents.<\/p>\n
