We will explore the idea of a virtual world where digital intelligences are getting work done for you, and also for themselves.

Fetch isn’t fixing the old economy, it’s presenting an entirely new one, one that’s made of hundreds of billions of autonomous digital entities working with each other to solve your problems so smoothly, you won’t even notice you had them. We'll explain what we think the world will look like once innovative technologies such as blockchain and AI become mainstream and we'll tell you what we're doing to make sure we get there.

Are you a developer or enthusiast who’s interested in how the combination of AI and distributed ledger technology is changing the world? Join us for an evening of presentation and discussion.

Humayun Sheikh, CEO, Fetch.ai
With his fourth major venture, Humayun is the founder, backer and CEO. Fetch.AI. Humayun is a true entrepreneur and visionary. His first venture bought an entirely new way of thinking to the steel recycling sector, building his company Metallis from start-up to £40m in six years. He was a lead investor in DeepMind, having the vision to provide early-stage support to artificial intelligence & deep neural network technology. DeepMind was ultimately acquired by Google for $500m in 2014. In addition, he was an early investor in PLUMgrid, the cloud solution provider. Humayun studied nanotechnology at Cranfield University and considers Blockchain, AI and Machine learning as his key focus points in the near future.

Toby Simpson, CTO, Fetch.ai
Toby has thirty years' experience in software development with ten as CTO across three companies. As a software developer and manager, he’s built and directed many successful computer games across several platforms including producing the highly regarded Creatures series in the 90s. More recently, he was one of the original developers at AI company DeepMind, acquired by Google in 2014, looking at nature’s contribution to artificial general intelligence.

At Fetch.AI, he’s using his knowledge of managing software complexity and distributed, decentralised problem solving to architect and deliver the next generation of economic software agents and the environments in which they live and thrive: converging digital intelligence with cryptoeconomics to build a fairer, more efficient and seamless future economy.

Code of Conduct: Fetch.AI is focused on building open source critical infrastructure to enable autonomous economic exchanges that ultimately make people’s lives easier. We are committed to organising inclusive meetups that welcome people from all backgrounds irrespective of gender, race, age or socio-economic background. We aim to build a community of those interested in how AI and distributed ledger technology can change the world for the better.
