Agentic Internet Workshop (AIW #3)

This Friday, November 6, the Agentic Internet Workshop (AIW #3) an unconference gathering taking place at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. We are inviting all open verification builders to come to the AIW #3 to workshop priority areas of work that Advanced AI Society has been stewarding. AIW #3 is an unconference style gathering. Anyone can propose any session.
The last few weeks of AI news show why this work is urgent. Reports surfaced of unauthorized third-party AI agents inside US customer bank accounts to AI tools uncovering two critical PHP flaws.
AIW builds on the history and legacy of the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW), which innovated OpenID and OAuth beginning over 20 years ago, and in the last 10 years innovated Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials.
The format both events use is unique. On the morning of the workshop, participants propose sessions and we build the schedule together. This means the agenda can keep up with the pace of change in AI and respond to new work and innovations in real time. It is also a workshop where the leading protocol creators come together to share their work, get feedback, and figure out how different protocols can work together.
We are excited that Advanced AI Society members will get the chance to cross-pollinate with other organizations and projects.
Agentic Internet Workshop is neutral ground where people working on agent identity, delegation, authorization, discovery and payments compare notes: people from IETF, W3C, the OpenID Foundation, DIF, Trust Over IP, FIDO Alliance, OWASP and AAIF, and from projects like MCP and A2A. Proof-of-Control depends on their work, and many of them are working on problems it can help solve. Sessions between groups that rarely share a room are often where the most useful connections happen.
We will propose the following unconference sessions to address:
1. critical questions and topics in Proof-of-Control
Public comment on the v1.0 draft extended to November 15
2. defining open verification
We have created a v1.0 definition of open verification to workshop. Is this definition sufficiently defined to describe this new new area in a way that isn't too broad or too narrow?
Open verification is a new category of open source: the open standards and specifications that let anyone verify what an AI system did, without trusting the operator.
3. eco-system mapping of open verification approaches
The open verification movement is significantly larger than any single foundation, alliance, or standards body. Crucial cryptographic, identity, and transparency primitives are already being built across standards organizations, open-source communities, and research institutions worldwide.
Open verification provides the overarching category that unifies these scattered open standards into a cohesive, inspectable architecture where the root of trust is removed from the operator.
There are many(we imagine hundreds) of open verification approaches. Our flagship standard, Proof-of-Control, is one way to reach it, but we know there are even more. We've made a starter list so far of approaches, and want to use this session as the first step to an in-person ecosystem mapping of open verification approaches.
Software & Supply Chain Transparency: Standards such as SLSA (Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts) and Rekor within the Linux Foundation, alongside emerging IETF SCITT (Supply Chain Integrity, Transparency, and Trust) specifications, provide open, tamper-evident audit logs.
Decentralized Identity & Provenance: W3C Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), combined with LF Decentralized Trust projects such as Trust Over IP, Open VTC, and AnonCreds, establish cryptographic identity and verifiable authority boundaries.
Agentic Stack: Advanced AI Society’s Proof-of-Control standard, KYA-OS by Vouched, Legal Context Protocol, and so many more.
ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPS
During the same week, there are two additional workshops happening:
Interoperability Day: Thursday, November 5
Internet Identity Workshop #43: November 3-5, same venue
