In this episode of Let's Talk Cardano, we host NMKR CEO Patrick Tobler and Plan.Net Group Chief Transformation Officer Sebastian Küpers to discuss the Masumi protocol, an innovative project merging AI agents and blockchain technology. We delve into the basics of AI agents and their increasing significance, examine how Masumi is constructing a decentralized and secure infrastructure for AI agents using Cardano, explore the advantages of this technology for enterprise clients and the evolution of AI-driven services, and provide an overview of Misumi's architecture, marketplace, and forthcoming developments. Tune in to discover how Masumi is laying the groundwork for the next wave of AI-powered applications.

In this episode, we speak with André Vanyi-Robin, Founder and CEO of Plastiks, together with Ana Aguilar Meca, COO, and Delfina Achinelly, Head of Methodology and Verification, about how blockchain can support transparent plastic recovery systems. The discussion explores how Plastiks verifies recycling data, issues digital recovery certificates, and anchors environmental evidence on the Cardano blockchain.

In this episode, we sit down with Don Tapscott, author of Blockchain Revolution and a leading voice on digital transformation. Don introduces the concept of “identic AI,” a new phase where personal AI agents become part of our identity and must remain self-sovereign to protect human agency. He outlines how we can decentralize the AI stack—from compute and data to models and logic—using blockchain, DPIN networks, and open governance. We also explore the risks of centralized AI, the parallels to past technology cycles, the future of public digital infrastructure, and Don’s vision for universal basic AI as a public good.
