DeFi promised to make finance more accessible, but has it lived up to that vision? In this episode of The People’s AI, presented by Vana, we explore how AI agents are reshaping decentralized finance (DeFi) and whether they can simplify complex yield farming, crypto investing, and smart contracts for everyday users.
We’re joined by Renç Korzay, co-founder of Giza, a project at the forefront of AI-powered DeFi automation. We discuss how AI can improve DeFi accessibility, optimize financial transactions, and bring new users into Web3. But what are the risks? If blockchain transactions are immutable, how do we ensure AI agents don’t make costly mistakes?
Topics Covered:
• The challenges of DeFi adoption and why it remains difficult for most users
• How AI trading bots and autonomous financial agents could change crypto investing
• The risks and benefits of AI-driven DeFi platforms
• Whether AI in finance can finally deliver on DeFi’s original promise
