Humayun Sheikh on Decentralized AI, Token Utility & the Next Wave of Web3

Humayun Sheikh - founder & CEO of Fetch.ai and Chairman of the newly-formed Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) - drops by the ACC Podcast to untangle the headlines, share stories from the early DeepMind days, and lay out why autonomous agent economies might be Web3’s first real, mainstream use-case.

In this fast-moving chat we cover:

🔸 The “$500 M FET purchase” headline, explained - why the capital raise belongs to Interactive Strength, not Fetch.ai, and how listed firms will use the tech rather than bankroll it.

🔸 What’s actually inside the ASI tech-stack: agent frameworks, domain-specific LLMs, data tools and a distributed GPU layer via Cudos - all stitched together by the FET token.

🔸 Why agents are the new websites. Humayun walks through a simple “book a meeting” scenario that shows how agents can talk, negotiate and settle payments with zero human friction.

🔸 Compute, efficiency & specialist models. A candid look at GPU bottlenecks, model-splitting and the road to quantum acceleration.

🔸 Crypto’s reputation problem (and how real utility fixes it). Humayun argues that the next bull run will belong to projects that ship products people actually use, not meme coins.

If you’re building at the intersection of AI and crypto (or just trying to understand where the space is headed) this episode is for you.
