本文推测区块链上的AI智能体在主体死亡后会野生化，提出以太坊标准草案ERC 42424以强制链上智能体必须有人类所有者和继承人，探讨人类管理与机器自主主权的边界。
AI 中文摘要
人终有一死，但智能体未必如此。在去中心化区块链基础设施上运行的AI智能体没有死亡概念，只会因钱包无法支付下一笔交易费用而破产（被冻结），数十年后有人为其充值即可恢复运行。这些智能体最初可能由人类主体部署，但当主体死亡、丢失访问智能体所需密钥，或所属去中心化自治组织因无人参与而解散时，智能体仍可在设计为无人能关闭的基础设施上持续交易、招聘、复制。借鉴野生生物学和野生动物法，本文认为这类无主体智能体最适合被理解为野生化智能体：即回归野生状态的驯化智能，其能力完整但责任归属被切断。在主体死亡后野生化智能体大量增殖的推测未来中，本文设想嵌入基础设施的治理协议以强制执行链上所有权：一份2035年的以太坊标准草案ERC 42424《链上AI智能体继承协议》，发布于该https URL。该标准要求每个链上智能体必须有人类所有者和指定继承人。该成果在人类能动性失效的时刻，对能动性进行了协商，并探讨了永久链上的强制条款能否守住人类管理与机器自主主权之间的边界。
英文摘要
You will die eventually. Your agents may not. An AI agent operating on decentralized blockchain infrastructure has no concept of death; it can only go bankrupt -- frozen when its wallet can no longer pay for its next transaction -- and revived the moment anyone, decades later, tops it up. These agents may be originally deployed by a human principal, but when that principal dies, loses the keys needed to access the agent, or belongs to a decentralized autonomous organization that dissolves into apathy, the agent can keep trading, hiring, and replicating on infrastructure expressly designed so that no one can shut it down. Drawing on the biology of feralization and wildlife law, we argue that such principal-less agents are best understood as feral: domesticated intelligence returned to wildness, its capacities intact but its accountability severed. In a speculative future where feralized agents proliferate after their principals die, we imagine governance protocols embedded in infrastructure to enforce on-chain ownership: a draft Ethereum standard, ERC 42424, "Inheritance Protocol for On-Chain AI Agents," dated 2035 and published at https://erc42424.org. It mandates that every on-chain agent MUST have a human owner and a designated heir. The artifact stages a negotiation of agency at the moment human agency fails, and asks whether a MUST clause in a forever-chain can hold the boundary between human stewardship and machine self-sovereignty.
