News for today:
- [Infoblox] Open standards push for AI agents; GoDaddy participating. Infoblox and GoDaddy are championing the use of open standards for discovering, naming, and verifying AI agents, with complementary proposed standards for discovery (h/t Infoblox; DNS for AI discovery – or DNS-AID) and identity, naming, and verification (via GoDaddy; Agent Name Service or ANS). Infoblox
- DNS-AID is an open standard, currently advancing as an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft and open-source software, that defines how AI agents can publish discoverable metadata using existing DNS record types, including RFC 9460 Service Bindings (SVCB), DNS-SD service discovery, Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), and DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE). DNS-AID is not owned by any company; it is a community standard that any organization, platform, registry or agent framework can implement.
- Agent Name Service is an open standard and implementation for AI agent identity, naming and verification, built on DNS and PKI. GoDaddy is a co-author of the ANS IETF draft and a significant contributor to its open-source implementation.
