Cardano's Hoskinson unveils Nightframes, AI-powered autonomous computing beyond smart contracts

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, introduced "Nightframes," a new vision for AI-driven autonomous computing that goes beyond traditional smart contracts. Presented at Midnight City Tokyo, Nightframes are designed as always-on private computers that understand user intentions and execute tasks with minimal human input, integrating AI and privacy technology. This innovation aims to support persistent AI agents capable of managing digital tasks like automated payments and personal assistants while maintaining user control rather than centralized platforms. The development aligns with Cardano's broader push into AI, privacy, and decentralized finance, including recent projects like Midnight and RealFi, and new protocols for AI collaboration and payments.
