Mark Cuban Says It's 'Gonna Get Crazy' As AI Transforms Business, Calls For Vendor Trust System

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban on Saturday shared his thoughts on the future of business and the growing role of AI agents in a series of X posts. Cuban Warns AI Could Shake Up US Market Cuban suggested that AI could dramatically reshape the marketplace, proposing a "trust system" in which vendors would need to post a bond before selling products in the U.S. That is not to say agents won't have value for you.

Cuban predicted that the next wave of business success will favor those who effectively use AI to manage their digital workflows, such as .MD files, over those who handle such tasks manually. “In the future there will be two types of people that do business with agents. Those who use agents to manage their own .MD files and those who do them themselves.” In the future there will be two types of people that do business with agents. Those who use agents to manage their own .MD files and those who do them themselvesThose who do their own will tell others as a badge of honor 😁— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) March 21, 2026 Trust Becomes the New Currency The entrepreneur emphasized that trust will become a critical form of currency in the future, while the overwhelming number of choices could create new challenges for consumers. "Sh*t gonna get crazy," he wrote, urging consideration of ways to give international companies access while protecting domestic businesses. Industry Moves to Stay Ahead of AI Disruption Cuban's comments arrive as AI continues to expand across industries. Companies such as Amazon are investing in AI and robotics to improve efficiency, while startups like San Francisco-based Vanta develop tools to safeguard against emerging cyber threats. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. has highlighted AI agents' potential in finance, promoting his firm World Liberty Financial as a way to overcome current limitations in AI technology. As AI continues to advance, it’s clear that the business landscape is on the brink of a major transformation. Cuban's warnings about the potential for AI agents to manipulate markets and the need for a trust system to regulate their activity emphasize the urgency for businesses and regulators to prepare for this new era.
