Key Insights from Prof. Ramesh Raskar
Prof. Ramesh Ramesh Raskar discussed how AI agents are driving a major technological shift and why the next platform era could either unlock tremendous value or fracture into isolated, incompatible ecosystems. He introduced Project NANDA, an MIT-led initiative working to build the technical and social infrastructure required for an open, interoperable Agentic Web.
He highlighted the importance of establishing standards for agent identity, discovery, and coordination to avoid dominance by a few large players. His central message:
The future of AI will rely on shared rails, collective innovation, and collaboration across academia, industry, and the startup ecosystem.
Continuing the Conversation
The session drew strong interest from founders and leaders looking to better understand the implications of the Agentic Web and how to participate in shaping its future. TiE Silicon Valley looks forward to continuing these conversations through future programs in our AI series.
