Vint Cerf is working on a plan to unleash AI agents on the open internet

An internet pioneer is advising an organization working to create identification standards for AI agents operating across the open internet. Currently, most AI agents operate within closed proprietary systems, but businesses are planning for a future where agents work autonomously across the internet and interact with other agents directly. The key challenge is establishing shared standards for identifying, authenticating, and auditing these agents so that their authorities and accountability are clear. The proposed solution involves using domain-name infrastructure to create cryptographic identities for agents and track their registration over time.
