Show Notes
In this episode of Privacy Now, we sit down with Yannick Myson, founder of Swarm Network, to explore one of the most exciting trends in AI and Web3: decentralized agent swarms.
Yannick unpacks how autonomous AI agents can collaborate to verify truth, preserve privacy, and reshape the future of intelligence, all without centralized gatekeepers.
We dive into: – What AI agent swarms are and how they work – Why decentralized intelligence matters – How Swarm uses zero-knowledge proofs for privacy – The intersection of AI, blockchain, and governance – The risks of centralized AI and the ethics of swarm systems
This is the episode for anyone curious about the next wave of AI in the Web3 world.

More from Privacy Now - Privacy, Web3 and AI
Your data is being fed into AI models without anyone asking you first. That's what ties this whole episode together. We debate the claim that Web3 is dead and only DeFi and DePIN are left, Musk's petition to kill the FTC privacy order standing between him and training Grok on user posts, the new Siri running on Google Gemini and what that means for the company that built its brand on privacy first, GitHub Copilot's move to token billing and the end of subsidized AI, the first federal moves on AI regulation in the US, and a chaotic month in crypto with $1.8 billion liquidated in a single day. We close with a few conspiracy theories, including the uncomfortable one: what if on-chain privacy was already cracked and nobody told us? Stay safe, stay private.
The most consequential month in crypto and AI we've covered. This episode breaks down the DeFi mass extinction event — 40+ protocols shut down and $770 million hacked in four months, with April the worst month in crypto history.
Episode 3 of Privacy Talks covers the most consequential month at the intersection of crypto security, AI, and privacy in recent memory.
Who gets to decide what AI can and can't do? In Episode 2, we cover Discord's biometric surveillance rollout, Anthropic's refusal to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to Claude, the 2.5 million user boycott that made Claude the #1 app overnight, China's MiniMax releasing frontier AI at a fraction of the cost of US models, 30,000+ layoffs across Oracle and Block, a critical vulnerability in Claude Code that could silently steal your API keys, and the MacBook Neo, Apple's first $599 AI device. One episode. The whole battlefield.
Welcome to the first episode of Privacy Talks, a new roundtable sub-series of the Privacy Now podcast. In this episode, I sit down with colleagues Matej and Marko to break down what’s actually happening in AI, crypto, and privacy right now. We discuss: 🔹 Moltbook – the social network where 14M AI agents talk to each other 🔹 Is the “AI social boom” already here? 🔹 Vitalik Buterin’s alternative to the AGI arms race 🔹 The rise of the invisible workforce & agent-to-agent commerce 🔹 DAC8 and the expansion of crypto reporting in Europe 🔹 AI-generated artists & synthetic fame 🔹 Claude Opus 4.6 and the future of AI as a coworker Are we building a parallel digital civilization? And if so… will privacy survive inside it?
