Komlock Lab and TDSE Join Forces for AI-Powered Payments
Introduction
In a significant move that marks a paradigm shift in the realm of e-commerce, Komlock Lab Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, announced its collaboration with TDSE Inc., located in Shinjuku, Tokyo. This partnership aims to initiate a groundbreaking experiment focused on the concept of "Agentic Commerce," which revolves around autonomous payment systems managed by AI agents without human intervention.
Background and Objectives of the Experiment
The world is witnessing a transition towards utilizing AI agents to perform tasks and conduct purchases, indicating a shift from traditional human-operated e-commerce to next-generation automatic systems. This paradigm shift necessitates that AI agents possess the capability to autonomously negotiate and execute transactions.
However, existing financial infrastructures are primarily designed around human entities, posing significant challenges to granting payment authority to AI programs from both governance and security perspectives. Moreover, enabling AI to conduct small, instantaneous transactions known as micro-payments has further complexities due to fee structures
To address these challenges, TDSE, leveraging its expertise in data analytics and AI technologies, will collaborate with Komlock Lab, which specializes in autonomous payment systems and blockchain technology. Together, they aim to build an innovative infrastructure utilizing the Japanese yen stablecoin, "JPYC."
Overview of the Experiment
The experiment intends to validate a model for autonomous payments, utilizing TDSE's vast repository of AI analytical assets.
API Development and Utilization
The experiment will capitalize on TDSE's research-oriented text mining tool, "KAIZODE," providing AI agents with access to its data assets and analytical algorithms through a trial API.
Building the Autonomous Payment Flow
When an AI determines that specific product review analytics are required, it will autonomously execute payments using the JPYC stablecoin to obtain the necessary data. This process will be thoroughly tested, aimed at assessing usability for AI agents and the overall feasibility of micro-payments.
Role and Goals of Komlock Lab
In this collaboration, Komlock Lab will implement and support the blockchain technology needed for AI agents to engage in autonomous economic activities. By partnering with TDSE, a leader in data analysis and AI, Komlock Lab seeks not only to validate their technology but also to create practical examples that utilize "AI analytical data."
Through this experiment, Komlock Lab aims to contribute to the healthy development and adoption of a new market known as
