As enterprises deploy increasing numbers of AI agents across applications and organizations, the Linux Foundation on Wednesday announced plans to launch a new Agent Name Service framework designed to establish identity, ownership, and trust for these systems. The ANS framework, which is expected to allow systems and users to verify who an agent represents, what permissions it has, and whether its code and operational history remain authentic and unchanged, will be based on the existing Domain Name System (DNS), the Foundation said in a statement. Just like DNS translates human-readable website names into internet addresses, ANS aims to create a standardized naming and discovery layer for AI agents, with the ability for enterprises to publish agent identities through domains they already control, enabling other agents and systems to verify who an agent represents and discover information about its capabilities and ownership before interacting with it, it added.
