The open agentic web: Building the internet of AI agents

Today’s AI agents operate across disparate systems, but what happens when billions of agents can freely discover, trust, communicate and transact with one another, without needing to know in advance that the others exist?In this episode, MIT professor and NANDA founder Ramesh Raskar explores the rise of the open agentic web, a decentralized ecosystem he compares to the emergence of the World Wide Web in the 1990s. He unpacks why today’s internet infrastructure isn’t enough for a world of autonomous agents and what new layers of identity, authentication, reputation, security and commerce will be needed to make that future possible.From agents that can communicate bidirectionally to marketplaces where intelligence itself can be exchanged, discover how an open agentic web could connect disparate agentic systems and create an entirely new digital economy.
