🌐 Agentic AI & Web3 Amsterdam: Own Your Intelligence

What if your AI agents worked for you — not Big Tech? 🤔
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly autonomous, a critical question emerges: who owns and controls these intelligent systems? Today, most AI agents reside on corporate servers, learning from your data but ultimately working for platform shareholders. This event explores how Web3 infrastructure paves the way for a different future — one where users own their agents, their data, and their digital destinies.

Join researchers, founders, and builders to dive deep into specifics: how an agent can hold its own wallet, transact on your behalf, work across platforms, and leave a verifiable trail on-chain.

Why are crypto and AI converging right now?

• Agents need wallets: For an autonomous agent to make purchases or settle transactions, it requires a way to manage value independently. Blockchain wallets with account abstraction provide this capability seamlessly.
• Ownership over rental: In the traditional model, you rent access to an agent. In Web3, the agent is an asset you own — configurable, transferable, monetizable, and sellable.
• Control over data: Cryptographic techniques allow agents to learn while keeping your data private, empowering users rather than big corporations.
• Transparency and trust: When agents operate autonomously with real funds, it becomes vital to maintain an immutable record of actions. Blockchain technology assures this audit trail isn't alterable.
• Interoperability instead of silos: Open standards enable agents to operate across different platforms instead of being confined to a single vendor's environment.

Key terms for the evening:

• Agentic AI: Systems that independently plan and execute multi-step tasks
• Account Abstraction: Agents can hold wallets and act without manual confirmations
• Cross-Chain: Functioning across multiple blockchains
• Data Sovereignty: Users maintain control over their own data

Venue
We’re gathering at the iconic Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam, a premier location for major Web3 and blockchain events, including the Dutch Blockchain Week Summit. Its modern conference spaces and exceptional transportation links make it ideal for attendees, as well as for high-quality livestreaming for remote guests.
