Vint Cerf is working on a plan to unleash AI agents on the open internet
Vint Cerf, a key architect of the open internet, has left Google to advise Innovation Labs, which is developing a standard for identifying AI agents using domain-name infrastructure. The standard, DNSid, aims to create a shared framework for accountability and interoperability among AI agents, addressing the lack of a unified identifier. Cerf emphasizes that the success of such standards depends on their functionality and that user pressure will drive their adoption.
