Crypto-AI-Robotics Forum
May 7–8, 2026 | Zurich Switzerland

Core Topics

Day 1:  9am-5pm

KEYNOTE: THE RISE OF THE MACHINE ECONOMY

Session. Human vs Machine Identity

Digital Identity, Proof of Humanity, Verifiable Credentials. As AI agents proliferate, distinguishing humans from machines becomes critical. This track explores:

• Self-sovereign identity systems for people and agents

• On-chain verification of personhood and intent

• Trust models where agents prove capabilities, not just keys

Key question: How do we maintain human agency and trust in an automated world?

Formats: Presentations & Fishbowl Discussions

​

Session. Payment & Digital Money

Autonomous Economy, Rent-a-Robot, Machine Cash, HTTP 402

The future of payment isn't just about faster transactions; it's about machine-native economies:

• Agents that pay for API access or rent physical assets

• Universal Basic Income and digital stipends in tokenised systems

• Unlocking machine-to-machine commerce via HTTP 402

Key question: What happens when bots earn, spend, and subscribe

Formats: Presentations & Fishbowl Discussions

​​

KEYNOTE: AI & ROBOT GOVERNANCE BY BLOCKCHAIN

GRAND PANEL: THE ILLUSION OF THINKING

Parallel Workshops and Demos​

• Farming & Cooking: The Food Chain Revolution

• Low-Altitude Economy

​

Day2:  9am-5pm

KEYNOTE: FUTURE OF AI

Session. AI & Robot Governance by Blockchain

Autonomous DAOs, Robotic Consensus, Blockchain as the Governance Layer

• EU AI Act, legal status of agents, Smart Contracts and accountability

• Autonomous DAOs and consensus mechanisms designed for machine agents

• How to prevent an agent from buying a dishwasher

• Decentralised Physical Infrastructure

Key question: Can blockchains be utilised to coordinate intelligent agents globally?

Formats: Presentations & Fishbowl Discussions

​

Session. Changing the Industry

Infrastructure Intelligent agents need places to run — from decentralised clouds to edge devices:

• Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN)

• Agent-to-Agent Interaction

• Brain-machine interfaces

• Fully Autonomous Systems

Key question: Where do autonomous agents live, think, and scale?

Formats: Presentations & Fishbowl Discussions
