The co-creator of Facebookâs cryptocurrency project Diem thinks the future of real-time payments will have utility in multiple sectors across the world.
David Marcus is the co-founder and CEO of Lightspark, startup that aims to build Bitcoin (BTC)-based enterprise payment solutions for the Lightning Network.
Marcus says in a new interview with Anthony Pompliano that heâs thinking a lot about artificial intelligence (AI) agents and how they pay one another.
âWhen you think about where weâre going, I believe youâre going to have a bunch of AI agents that are going to perform certain tasks on our behalf. For instance, you could have a travel agent thatâs basically an AI system that enables you to book complex travel, and itâll talk to other AI agents from the various providers out there.â
If Lightspark is successful, Marcus thinks there will potentially be useful applications in terms of enabling payments to rights owners to train data.
He also thinks accounting, reporting and taxes will have to evolve in the future to adapt to payments that can be processed instantly on a global, 24/7 basis.
Additionally, the Lightspark CEO says real-time payments could open up global capital.
âPeople can have access to cheaper capital globally. And there will be companies built on top of that that enable people to actually get their money around [and] lock their money to get it repaid in real-time. Thereâs all kinds of innovation around that.âÂ
