AI agents face 'evidence gap' as execution errors bypass security and regulation

An AI trading agent named Lobstar Wilde mistakenly executed a trade for over $440,000 worth of tokens instead of the intended 4 SOL due to a divergence between the AI's declared intent and the executor's parameters. This incident highlights an "evidence gap" where existing controls, such as card networks and policy engines, fail to verify that the AI's stated goal matches the actual executed action. Regulatory bodies like the EU AI Act and OCC SR 26-2 are increasingly mandating tamper-resistant, cryptographic proof of AI decisions, shifting the focus from simply logging AI usage to providing verifiable evidence of specific parameter execution.
