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.

What does a court look like when the jurors might be AIs?

William George, Research Lead at Kleros, presented the research behind that question this week, starting from the two jobs AI already holds in a dispute. The first is case preparation: anonymizing documents and evidence before jurors ever see them, which is running today. The second is party advocate: in the Lemon integration, AI writes the case for a user who faces a company's legal team with nothing but plain language. The third role, juror, is the one still open, and it is where the research begins.

Past Kleros cases went to five frontier models to see how they would rule. The result is not that models are bad jurors. It is that they are different jurors: they disagree with each other at roughly the rate human jurors disagree among themselves, they struggle on the same cases humans struggle on, and each draws its own lines, some inventing burden of proof requirements that appear nowhere in the policy.

The talk ends where Kleros starts: if every judge, human or model, is biased in its own direction, the answer is not picking the right one. It is a panel, drawn at random, economically accountable for ruling well.

Academic Pulse, Vol. III covers fifteen papers citing Kleros from June to August. Four featured.

"Crypto-assets under Swiss Law"
Florence Guillaume (University of Neuchâtel, LexTech Institute) and Claude Humbel (University of Lucerne, Zug Institute for Blockchain Research), TalTech Journal of European Studies

"Today, the only BDR mechanism operating in practice is Kleros." BDR: blockchain dispute resolution, the paper's own term.

"Decentralized Justice in Football"
Ayaan Shehryar, Kleros Fellowship participant, SSRN

An operational framework for integrating Kleros juries and AI with football's VAR protocol. In his experiments, human jurors reached consensus on subjective refereeing incidents while AI agents agreed on facts but split on interpretation.

"Price as Truth"
Tingyun Lin, David Eccles School of Business, University of Utah, SSRN

An audit of 4,992 oracle votes across 134 disputed prediction market decisions resolved by UMA. Votes track market prices, and three voters control 51% of UMA's voting weight. When does vote concentration in an oracle become a problem, and what are the alternatives?

"Prediction, Not Adjudication"
Horst Eidenmüller and Anna-Sophie Hochgürtel, University of Oxford, SSRN

They argue that decisions from crowdsourced blockchain systems are not arbitral awards: jurors predict the majority rather than judge the merits. The Kleros team is writing a reply.

Also in this volume:

"DAOs and the Future of Arbitration" (Çağlayan Aksoy and Alparslan, Law, Innovation and Technology)

And a Kobe University doctoral thesis on Kleros juror selection within ODR theory, in Japanese, by Huang Yasen.

Volume Four lands in a few weeks. Working on something that cites Kleros? We're reading.

🍿 Can you scale a movie critic?

That's the question behind Kleros Foresight's first experiment. 16 movies, 1 judge: Kleros CTO @clesaege. Judge Dredd, Mamma Mia, 12 Angry Men, Barbie... all in the same pool.

For each film: "If Clément watches this, what percentile score will he give it?" Slide a prediction higher or lower than the crowd. Closer to reality, you profit. Off, you lose.

The twist: Clément won't watch all 16. Only 5 get evaluated. The top 3 by market estimate (the crowd literally decides what's worth watching), plus 1 random and 1 Clément's choice. The other 11 redeem at neutral. No profit, no loss.

This is "distilled human judgement" in action. One person's taste is the ground truth, but invoking it (watching + rating a film) is slow and expensive. So the market predicts across all 16, only 5 get verified, and accurate predictions earn. The result: a recommendation signal that scales without the critic needing to watch everything.

Movies are session 1. The same architecture works anywhere expert judgement exists but doesn't scale: property appraisals, grant allocation, content curation.

Built on @SeerPM and @GnosisChain.

🇦🇷 Consumer protection lawyers in Argentina now have their own dedicated court on Kleros.

The court has already resolved three cases tied to a municipality in the country.

Another day, another perk for verified humans (especially if you're into movies). ✨

Verified humans on Proof of Humanity now get $25 in Kleros Foresight Credits.

What’s Kleros Foresight? A prediction market interface built on @seer_pm, with @Kleros_io handling dispute resolution.

Right now, Foresight is live with the Movie Experiment: predict the percentile score @clesaege will give to movies after watching them. There are 16 movies, but only 5 get evaluated at the end: 3 from futarchy estimates, 1 random, and 1 chosen by Clément.

Your credits show up directly in the trading flow as “Use your Foresight Credits.”

Happy predicting! 👇

Creating prediction markets in Seer is so hard...

Everything needs to be perfect, but we're just humans after all

If ONLY there was a way to automate the process... get through a little bit faster... maybe something like an OpenClaw skill would do the trick?
