[Coinbase CEO: Company Testing AI Agents Modeled After Two Former Employees] Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform that Coinbase is testing AI agents that appear in work Slack and emails, functioning like human teammates. The first two agents are modeled after former Coinbase employees Fred Ehrsam and Balaji Srinivasan. Armstrong stated that soon, any employee will be able to easily create new agents for themselves or their teams, and he expects the number of agents to surpass the number of human employees in the near future. He further emphasized that these agent employees should have their own names, rather than being 'digital twins' of others.
