from The ID Talk Podcast · host Verse Media

What happens when half of all internet traffic is generated by unaccountable bots and AI? This week, the pod welcomes Evan McMullen, co-founder and CEO of Billions Network, to discuss what she calls an "existential moment for the internet".Tune in to explore the rise of the "agentic economy," where autonomous AIs act on our behalf, and the urgent need for a new trust layer to verify both human and machine identity. Evan breaks down how technologies like zero-knowledge proofs can allow users to prove who they are without revealing sensitive data, the crucial difference between a bot and an agent, and how this technology is being used today to secure everything from crypto-launches to government social security systems.
