Depends on implementation
One industry executive, WaveCX CEO Jon Tvrdik, said he’s not sure how well ANS will ultimately do, as it depends on implementation particulars. But he agrees that the need for such an approach is critical.
“We’re fast approaching the point where the need for a standard to identify AI agents becomes painfully obvious. Right now, it’s a mess. Companies are spinning up agents left and right, with no trusted way to know what they are, what they do, or who built them,” Tvrdik said. “The Wild West might feel exciting, but we all know how most of those stories end. And it’s not secure.”
As for ANS, he said. “it makes sense in theory. Treat agents like domains. Give them names, credentials, and a way to verify who’s talking to what. That helps with security, sure, but also with keeping things organized. Without it, we’re heading into chaos.”
