AI agent and open web ecosystem
The Chinese Web Interest Group provides a forum for W3C members to enhance the participation in web standards work from the Chinese Web community. With growing interest in AI technologies and also as preliminary discussions for the upcoming W3C AI Agent & the Web Workshop, the Chinese Web Interest Group is organizing this event to bring bring together relevant stakeholders from industry, research institutions, user communities, developers, and standards organizations to collaboratively explore the role and evolution of AI agents within the web ecosystem.
The meeting will focus on five core topics:
- AI agent construction: This session will examine the growing trend of building AI agents based on large language models (LLMs), including architectural patterns, web interface capabilities, state management, multi-turn dialogue handling, reasoning capabilities, and integration with real-world services.
- AI agents in the web ecosystem: This topic explores how AI agents and LLMs can be embedded into browsers and Web applications, and how they may evolve into next-generation user agents or operating systems. It will assess their potential to reshape user interaction paradigms, information flow, and content publishing, and will explore the integration of agents with existing web APIs.
- Inter-agent communication: This track will focus on mechanisms for cross-domain discovery, identity recognition, task collaboration, and capability declaration. It will explore the design of protocols to support automated agent collaboration, with special attention to foundational requirements such as privacy, security, authentication, and access control in agent-to-agent communication.
- Emerging use cases and requirements: This session will survey the current real-world use of AI agents in areas such as personal productivity, web search, security, and accessibility. It will evaluate both the positive and negative impacts on web content and service delivery, and identify current limitations and areas for technical advancement.
- Standardization gaps and opportunities: This topic will assess whether existing Web standards adequately support the development and deployment of AI agents, and explore where new specifications or updates are needed. It will also consider the appropriate role of W3C in coordinating and facilitating a cohesive standardization framework for AI agents.
This meeting will lay the foundation for a W3C standardization roadmap toward the agentic web. It aims to clarify the impact of AI agents on the web, identify concrete standardization opportunities, advance discussions on cross-domain agent communication protocols, and foster collaboration toward the next generation of web architecture and specifications.
