Introducing Autonomous Economic Agents: What is an AEA?

Autonomous Economic Agents (AEAs) are adaptive independent programs that have a narrowly defined goal to produce some economic gain for their owner. These agents will be at the forefront of the next industrial revolution, disrupting billion-dollar industries and creating innovative new solutions.

Fetch.ai is a world-changing project, a “decentralized digital world” where autonomous software agents act on the behalf of their owners, or themselves, to get useful economic work done. They consider themselves to be a “dynamic, fast-growing international team of experts and forward-thinking technology enthusiasts working on the convergence of blockchain, AI and multi-agent systems.”

They are building a collective super-intelligence on top of decentralized economic internet built with a highly scalable next-generation distributed ledger technology. Combined with machine learning, this delivers the predictions and infrastructure to power the future economy.
