AI Is Destroying The Internet. Math Is Our Only Hope.

Brian Trunzo, chief growth officer at Succinct Labs, argues that autonomous AI agents are making the internet a crisis of trust and that zero-knowledge proofs are the only scalable fix. According to CoinDesk, he says detection and disclosure tools are insufficient, while ZK proofs could verify what models, data and constraints underlie an agent’s actions without exposing proprietary information. He also calls on Congress to require cryptographic proofs for high-risk AI agents handling financial transactions or interacting with minors.
