Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, joins The Smart Economy Podcast to discuss AI operating systems, agent harnesses, chain abstraction, and the growing role of AI agents in blockchain ecosystems. Polosukhin explains how NEAR’s original vision emerged from AI infrastructure challenges, why AI harnesses are evolving into operating systems, and how NEAR Intents enables users and agents to interact across blockchains without dealing with backend complexity. The conversation also explores AI security, formal verification, confidential inference, and why blockchain infrastructure may increasingly operate behind the scenes as AI agents become primary users.
