Vint Cerf is working on a plan to unleash AI agents on the open internet
The guy behind TCP/IP is working on a standard for identifying AI agents in the wild.
TL;DR
- Vint Cerf has joined Innovation Labs, an organization focused on creating an open architecture for AI agent identification.
- Innovation Labs, a subsidiary of Identity Digital, proposes DNSid, a system to give AI agents identities linked to existing domain names.
- The goal is to enable AI agents to operate autonomously across the internet and interact with other agents, addressing a current road block of lacking a shared identification standard.
- Cerf's involvement is driven by the need to address questions of AI agent authority, accountability, and trustworthiness.
- The success of any proposed protocol will depend on its functionality and user pressure, similar to the adoption of TCP/IP.
