   Description:   
   Tomorrow's "Internet of Agents" is being planned today by Cisco and Microsoft   
   and will bypass homo sapiens almost entirely.   
      
   FULL STORY   
   ======================================================================   
    - The Bot-2-Bot paradigm is rapidly turning into an agent-to-agent one   
    - Network supremo Cisco is at the forefront of this evolutionary inflection   
   point   
    - Agents will likely have their own language as well, bypassing human lingo   
      
   The next frontier of artificial intelligence is unfolding and, worryingly for   
   many, human involvement may not be a central requirement.    
      
   Discussions in tech circles are increasingly focused on building a framework   
   where AI agents - autonomous, reasoning machines - collaborate seamlessly to   
   achieve complex tasks independent of human oversight. Dubbed the "Internet of   
   Agents," this next step could ultimately redefine how businesses and   
   industries operate.    
      
   Ciscos Outshift group is one of the key players tackling the challenges of   
   creating the infrastructure necessary to connect these AI agents.   
      
   Droidspeak    
      
   The vision is certainly ambitious. AI agents from different companies and   
   organizations should be able to automatically find each other, exchange data   
   securely, and solve problems collaboratively.    
      
   "We stand at yet another inflection point - the move to distributed agentic   
   computing," Outshifts Vijoy Pandey noted in a recent white paper . He   
   described this as "a platform paradigm shift larger than all other platforms   
   in the past."    
      
   Pandey argues that this Internet of Agents must be "fast, safe, and open,"   
   incorporating advanced hardware-software stacks for low-latency communication   
   and quantum-safe encryption to secure interactions.    
      
   The rise of AI-driven "foundation models," such as ChatGPT, has already   
   accelerated the evolution of AI agents, which go beyond generating text or   
   images to planning, reasoning, and working autonomously. Significant hurdles   
   still remain, of course. Industry-wide cooperation will be needed to    
   establish common protocols, ensure system scalability, and build trust   
   frameworks.    
      
   Microsoft researchers are taking a different, yet complementary, approach by   
   addressing communication bottlenecks between AI agents. SingularityHub    
   reports the tech giant has developed "DroidSpeak," a machine-centric language   
   inspired by the beeps and whistles droids use to communicate in Star Wars .   
   Its designed to be faster and more efficient than human languages like   
   English.    
      
   In a paper published on the arXiv preprint server , Microsoft says,   
   "Experiments on diverse datasets and model pairs demonstrate that DroidSpeak   
   achieves up to 3x higher throughputs and 2.6x faster prefill times with   
   negligible accuracy loss compared to full recomputation."    
      
   Despite the promise, both Cisco and Microsoft acknowledge the road ahead is   
   long. Open standards for cross-compatibility between models and advancements   
   in computational efficiency will be necessary to fully realize an Internet of   
   Agents. However, if successful, and there's no reason to suspect it won't be,   
   the concept could create a new era of collaboration, and one in which humans   
   play only a peripheral role.
