The Linux Foundation Establishes an Open Standard for Interoperability among AI Agents

IBL News | New York

The Linux Foundation announced the launch, along with a hundred top tech companies, of the Agent2Agent (A2A) project, an open and interoperable ecosystem for AI agents.

This protocol was developed by Google to address the challenge of scaling AI agents across enterprise environments, regardless of platform, vendor, or framework.

A2A enables autonomous agents to discover one another, exchange information securely, and collaborate across systems.

“This allows developers and organizations to unite agents from multiple sources and platforms, improving modularity, mitigating vendor lock-in, and accelerating innovation,” said the Linux Foundation.

Brands like Google, Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, Salesforce, SAP, and ServiceNow participate in the project.

Under the Linux Foundation’s governance, A2A claims it will remain vendor-neutral and foster a vibrant ecosystem of developers, researchers, and companies.
