AI Meets Blockchain: Dawn of the Agentic Economy

🎧 In this episode of The AI Adoption Podcast, I speak with Yves Bollinger, General Manager at Plan.Net Studios, part of the Serviceplan Group. We explore the fascinating intersection of AI and blockchain and how decentralised technologies such as the Masumi Protocol built on the Cardano blockchain can establish trust, identity and accountability between millions of AI agents.

We explore examples such as a team of AI travel agents planning a family trip entirely through autonomous negotiation, and how organisations can monetise their proprietary data by deploying agents in the Sokosumi marketplace. Yves discusses how these technologies could reduce reliance on big tech platforms and create a new, open and verifiable digital economy.

We discuss how businesses, large and small, can build or buy their own AI agents to monetise their data. This will improve productivity at the possible cost of fewer entry level jobs. We examine how leaders can prepare for a future in which agents collaborate, trade and take actions without human intervention, leading perhaps to an “agentic economy”.

Business Leaders and policy makers need to recognise that, as Yves says, “If we don’t find a way to integrate young people into the workforce, the expertise to oversee artificial intelligence will cease to exist.”

Listen to the full episode to hear how agentic AI is transforming trust, commerce, and the very structure of online ecosystems.
