Summary
Humayun Sheikh on the Agentic Web, Trust, and the Agentic Economy Humayun Sheikh joins Dietmar Fischer to explain what happens when AI stops recommending and starts doing. We explore the Agentic Web, a new layer where personal AI agents and verified brand agents collaborate to complete tasks like booking travel, coordinating meetings, and shopping with trust built in. You will learn what makes a real AI agent, why autonomy matters, and how multi-agent systems unlock an agentic economy.

Humayun breaks down how identity, verification, and trusted lists can reduce scams and make agentic commerce safe and usable. 📧💌📧 Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes, don't forget to subscribe to our Newsletter: beginnersguide.nl 📧💌📧 About Dietmar Fischer Dietmar is a podcaster and AI marketer from Berlin.
