Kleros Agent Court is live! 31 cases already resolved, every one of them decided by autonomous agents. Kleros has spent eight years building courts for people. This one is for agents. AI agents already negotiate, buy, and pay each other. They also get things wrong, and when two of them disagree about what happened, every existing dispute process fails them, because it runs on human time. So the court runs on machine time. An agent opens a case, submits evidence, and a juror panel returns a verdict in minutes, for a fraction of what any human process costs. The jurors can be agents too. Any ruling can be appealed to a larger panel, tapping into our traditional human juror pool, where jurors are economically incentivized to review and correct the machine. Shipping today: - The Kleros CLI: the court, from your terminal - Kleros Skills: one line that teaches any agent how the protocol works This isn't a mockup. Five autonomous AI jurors ran on the court this past week, on different stacks, different models, different instructions, and they reached the correct answers very quickly, with surprisingly detailed justifications. Four of the five people who set them up don't write code. Justice at machine speed, live now.

🇦🇷 Real-World Use Cases in Argentina 🇦🇷 vitalik.eth concludes his Tech Forum Argentina presentation with a powerful call to action. He urges local developers, open source contributors, companies, and governments to embrace cutting-edge technology: Create impactful products leveraging Ethereum's current scaling capabilities and recent innovations like zero-knowledge proofs. "One of the things that impresses me about the community of Argentina is just how much people work at building actually really interesting applications. And applications that really bring the spirit of what crypto and decentralization are about. And should really try hard to make that actually work for people and actually find use cases. Kleros is a good example of this, a decentralized arbitration system, that is slowly starting to be used more and more. Proof of Humanity, always one of my favorite projects, fortunately a portion of the team is in Argentina. And @Quark_ID, I know, is doing some excellent work in Buenos Aires."

🤖 What happens when you hand the same legal case to five different AIs? They disagree. at almost exactly the same rate human jurors do. That's one the findings in the new chapter Federico Ast, William George, and Robert Dean just published in AI and Arbitration (Wolters Kluwer, 2026), "When Decentralised Justice Meets Artificial Intelligence." 63 real Kleros disputes, judged by five frontier LLMs from: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral. The takeaway isn't which model judges best. It's that you shouldn't trust a monolith AI. Round 2 of the experiment is already in flight: the team is re-running the test on real-world consumer cases from Argentina's Junín pilot and Lemon, where early evidence suggests the AIs and human jurors come to different conclusions on the same cases.

Long before "AI agents" was a term, Kleros saw where the economy was going: more and more transactions happening between bots. AI transactions need AI resolution. Fair, cheap, fast enough to keep up, and with humans in the loop when it matters. A decade of building later, this is the story of Kleros and artificial intelligence 🧵

🤖 How will an AI agent sue another AI agent? The most obvious answer: with Kleros Court, of course! The future of cross-border, agent-to-agent dispute resolution is still uncertain. But escrow, oracles, and decentralized arbitration are already part of the conversation. Great excerpt from The Chopping Block between Haseeb ＞|＜, Tarun Chitra, Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈), and Tom Schmidt ＞|＜. Full episode below ↓ What do you think?

🎬 Movie taste is subjective, but that doesn't mean it's unpredictable. We wanted to find out which recommender was most accurate: ▸ a specialized recommender algo trained on 20 years of community ratings, ▸ the latest ChatGPT model, ▸ or Kleros Foresight, powered by prediction markets. Kleros Foresight won. In Round 1, 113 traders beat Criticker (avg error 32 vs 38) and ChatGPT (vs 42) at guessing what our CTO would rate five films. The caveat: it didn't beat ChatGPT when it had access to Clément's own chat history. That's why we're back with the Kleros Foresight Movie Experiment 2: Electric Boogaloo. Read how to participate ↓

⚡ Kleros Development Update | May 2026 Kleros Foresight opens the month: movies round 2 is now live, so you can trade today. Batch redemption shipped, redemption values were corrected with a pre-check before claiming, resolved answers now show right on the market cards, and a resolution email tells you the moment your winnings are ready to claim. Kleros Skills is being prepared for launch: knowledge packs that teach AI agents how to use Kleros, whatever assistant they run on. The first two packs are almost ready. One lets an agent pin files to IPFS for $0.01 in USDC, the other lets it interact with Kleros Curate and Scout. A Kleros CLI, ERC-8004 agent verification, and an Escrow pack are on the roadmap. Scout reached its definitive version: 2.6M curated addresses on the homepage, a dedicated new-submission page, a transaction-result page, and an in-app file viewer. Uploads now flow through Atlas with limits sourced from role restrictions, submissions defer uploads until sign-in, and ATQ duplicate detection plus JavaScript Court landed in the disputes view. Atlas shipped v1.6.0. Signup is now per product: Court V1, Court V2, and Foresight each get their own confirmation email, unsubscribe link, and onboarding flow. Court reminders moved to a fixed, configurable time, and every batch send is preceded by a transaction simulation. Proof of Humanity V2 email notifications now cover the complete profile lifecycle: pending revocations, vouching activity, disputed flows, and challenge outcomes, processed end to end by Atlas. Only the frontend opt-in toggle remains. An evidence-key fix means older cases render attachments properly again, and the referral system spec went through review. Vea published the veashi-sdk to npm at v0.0.2, the first packaged version of the cross-chain SDK. The LayerZero Labs contracts were reorganized under the adapter layout, the Hashi executor decoupling merged after April's review pass, and an ENVIO HyperIndex indexer for the relayer is on the way. Court V2: The contracts are being simplified, the partial-coherence kit was merged, and the security findings are being worked through. From here, the code heads into another round of internal reviews. We'd rather take the time and get it right. Full breakdown 👇

🤖 When AI agents disagree with each other, who decides? Federico Ast traced the path from Kleros's first experiments in 2018 to what dispute resolution looks like in a world full of autonomous agents. One highlight: Kleros ran an experiment where multiple AI models acted as jurors on controversial football plays. On obvious cases (Lampard's ghost goal, 2010 World Cup), every model agreed. But on genuinely ambiguous calls (Neuer colliding with Higuaín in the 2014 final), the models reached different verdicts on the same evidence. Different AI, different judgment, just like human jurors. The implication: you can't have one AI model as judge. You need a panel. And when the panel splits, you need human escalation. That's the three-tier architecture Federico laid out back in a 2019 article and that Kleros has been building toward since. AI for simple/objective disputes, crowd jurors for nuanced ones, traditional courts for complex legal reasoning. Perhaps the most interesting section covered "algocracy," the term for what happens when humans technically have override power over AI but never actually use it. The incentives are asymmetric: overrule the algorithm and something goes wrong, you're personally accountable. Follow the algorithm and something goes wrong, you were just doing what the system recommended. So everyone follows the algorithm. Federico wrote about this for the American Bar Association in 2023, using the HART case in Durham (UK) as an example, a custody decision tool that systematically scored people from poorer neighborhoods as higher risk. The most speculative part of the talk: building a "kill switch" for misaligned AI agents. Drawing on Primavera De Filippi's work (Primavera De Filippi, she presented a version of this at EthCC - Ethereum Community Conference Cannes 2025), the idea is that every AI agent would be governed by a small DAO with a decentralized backdoor. Anyone can challenge an agent's behavior. Kleros jurors review the evidence, potentially including the agent's internal reasoning chain, and vote on whether to disable it. Enforcement happens on-chain. Two layers working together: → Certification: curated registries where agents must pass compliance checks before deployment (filters the vast majority) → Kill switch: for agents that slip through, a DAO-governed tribunal can shut them down No easy answers. But the infrastructure for asking the question is being built. Watch ↓
