Three prominent artificial intelligence (AI) protocols, SingularityNet, Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol are in discussions to merge their tokens into an AltSignals (ASI) token that would have a fully diluted valuation of $7.5 billion.
The deal could be announced as soon as Wednesday, depending on community approval, according to unknown people familiar with the matter, cited in a Bloomberg M&A Exclusive.
While the three platforms would continue to operate as separate entities, the new deal would foster their collaboration under a newly formed Superintelligence Collective, run by Ben Goertzel, the founder and CEO of SingularityNet. Humayun Sheikh, the CEO of Fetch.ai, would be the chairman of the new entity, according to the anonymous sources.
Cointelegraph has approached SingularityNet, Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol for comment.
