OM DENNE EPISODE
What if the future of AI isn't controlled by a few massive tech platforms, but by you?
In Episode 2 of our four-part mini-series exploring plausible futures for 2035, Kate Scott-Dawkins and Sam Weston flip the board to unpack The Agent Commons—a fully distributed, user-directed vision of the future.
In this world, consumers own their own AI agents, manage their data inside private household "data bunkers," and send their software into the market to negotiate, compare products, and make purchases on their behalf.
Key topics discussed
- How personal AI gatekeepers alter the buyer journey.
- The 6 key conditions needed for this decentralized future to scale.
- How advertising splits into "Human Media" (brand storytelling) and "Machine Media" (structured data & specs).
- Why brands must prepare for a "Market of One" and radical comparability.
- Strategic bets, risks to map, and signals to watch for 2026.
