Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Second, okay, let's even say that we're going to do this in New York, right?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Let's say we're both in New York.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Okay, if we're both going to do this in New York, then the question is, does every single clause of this smart contract hold, or sorry, this legal contract hold, or some of them are going to get struck as being unenforceable?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

This happens.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

This oftentimes what happens in a dispute is you argue this piece of the contract is unenforceable.

Bankless

Okay, then let's say we go to trial.

Bankless

Then who's my lawyer gonna be?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Who's your lawyer gonna be?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

That's gonna affect our odds of winning in the trial.

Bankless

Okay, then there's judge selection.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Judge selection is literally random.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

It's a lottery when you get which judge you select in a legal trial.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

And then, of course, there's the jury.

Bankless

which is also obviously random.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

So all these things are intentionally random.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

We designed them to be random, which means if you're an AI agent, you look at a legal contract and you're like, I don't know what's going to happen.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

This is uninterpretable to me.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

It's literally non-deterministic, right?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Whereas a smart contract is actually machine code.

Bankless

It is actually compiled into the EVM bytecode and you can analyze it step-by-step.
