Fetch.ai [1] is a laboratory based [2] artificial intelligence (.ai) and digital economics company [3] operating an internet platform with a blockchain structured economic system using a decentralized server network, [4] with the direction of solving a number of every-day problems, with improving blockchain utilisation and exploitation by the implementation of .ai using machine learning having an autonomous activity.[2] The companies goal is to revolutionize economic activity in a number of current sectors, principally by the creation of an economic system using the FET cryptocurrency, and [5][6] innovating the first existing adaptive autonomous smart ledger. [7] The current CEO of fetch.ai was a [8] founding [9] investor in DeepMind, a London-based AI laboratory purchased by Google for $600 million, [8] founded by Demis Hassabis and Mustafa Suleyman during 2014. [10]

Utilities

Fetch.ai's use cases from the further development of it's current technologies, where-by expected improvements to society might be realized by are:[11]

  • a software based Agent Framework
    • this describes a software functioning in the capacity of inter-agency communication in order to produce an effective control in a real-world situation, there-by reducing the need for human effort. The utilisation of autonomously communicating sensor agents that enable the liberation of human effort use, specifically vehicles that drive in urban environments without the necessity of human intervention or control. DDN is the implementation of FET as a cryptocurrency in situations of the need for delivering objects or people[5]
  • a Collective Learning network
    • allowing confidential data to be maintained in a secure state while maintaining an effective direction in a group of disparately located members toward machine algorithm model making by the sharing of data.
  • Simple Open Economic Framework Explorer (SOEF) [12]
  • a Ledger system [11] with a Directed Acyclic Graph [13] (DAG) [14] structure that empowers ledger functioning to million-scale transaction processing [13]
