slide-1
00:00.000 --> 00:09.760
Okay, finally, AI. Yeah, it's a really popular topic during this TPAC.

00:09.760 --> 00:18.000
Every topic, if you don't have a good name with AI, maybe you will lose a lot of participants.

00:18.000 --> 00:19.000
Yeah.

00:19.000 --> 00:27.000
So, Dom and I started working on AI months ago in W3C team.

00:27.000 --> 00:34.000
So, we tried to figure out a lot of things in W3C from the W3C team.

slide-2
00:34.000 --> 00:41.000
So, today, I will have a short briefing on how W3C is engaging AI.

00:41.000 --> 00:54.000
And we will look at why AI matters for the web, and the AI-related works at W3C, and also some future works from W3C on AI.

slide-3
00:54.000 --> 01:00.000
AI, nowadays, is everywhere. It even supports global economics.

01:00.000 --> 01:09.000
But to us, I think the most important thing is web technology is increasing, embedding into a web ecosystem.

01:09.000 --> 01:11.000
That's what we care.

01:11.000 --> 01:19.000
So, nowadays, web is become a platform for AI and also a space for AI interaction.

01:19.000 --> 01:24.000
So, W3C is an organization for web.

01:24.000 --> 01:31.000
We have to ask some questions when and how we should align AI with the web architecture.

01:31.000 --> 01:42.000
And also, how can we ensure the security, privacy, I18N and sustainability and accessibility on the web when AI runs in the web.

01:42.000 --> 01:43.000
Yes.

01:43.000 --> 01:48.000
And also, what standard we need to enable AI systems on the web.

01:48.000 --> 01:51.000
So, of course, they may have more questions.

01:51.000 --> 01:54.000
And also, I can't answer those questions right now.

01:54.000 --> 02:00.000
We need all of the W3C community to collaborate on those questions.

slide-4
02:00.000 --> 02:06.000
So, next, let's see what we have already had for AI in W3C.

02:06.000 --> 02:14.000
Obviously, we have already a lot of things to support AI in the web, like the AI in the web platform.

02:14.000 --> 02:18.000
We have already got WebNN, WebGPU, WebAssembly, things.

02:18.000 --> 02:34.000
And also, nowadays, I notice the Web Machine Learning community group work on some web API to support the LLM and also AI agent things like the Prompt API, WebMCP and the MCP UI.

02:34.000 --> 02:37.000
There are some discussions in the community group.

02:37.000 --> 02:43.000
And also, yes, data and the semantic is also important to AI things.

02:43.000 --> 02:56.000
As we know, W3C have already done those work for decades, like RDF, JSON-LD, and also some new work in W3C in different community groups and the working groups.

02:56.000 --> 02:59.000
And also, web and AI agents.

02:59.000 --> 03:02.000
Recently, I noticed that there are a lot of AI browsers.

03:02.000 --> 03:11.000
I noticed some of them use Web Driver to operate on the web ecosystem, which is also our W3C technology.

03:11.000 --> 03:20.000
And also, Web of Things technology and AI agent communicate with each other within the Web of Things technology.

03:20.000 --> 03:26.000
And also, some multi-agent system and AI agent protocol.

03:26.000 --> 03:32.000
There have already a lot of discussion in the community group in W3C.

03:32.000 --> 03:47.000
And also, our work on DID and the Verifiable Credential, Federated ID things can support the AI agent on the web to make sure their trust and identity things.

slide-5
03:47.000 --> 03:53.000
So, I think technology alone doesn't make the web better.

03:53.000 --> 03:58.000
We also need to make sure the AI on the web is responsible.

03:58.000 --> 04:04.000
So, W3C from the horizontal contribution shapes the impact of the AI.

04:04.000 --> 04:17.000
In Web Machine Learning Working Group, we have ethical principles for web machine learning and also TAG work on the web user agent from the principle things for the agents.

04:17.000 --> 04:25.000
And also, from W3C team, Dominique made some reports like the AI impact on the web.

04:25.000 --> 04:29.000
And also, AI agent impact report.

04:29.000 --> 04:39.000
And also, yeah, there are also a lot of relation discussions happening in security and the privacy and also accessibility groups.

04:39.000 --> 04:49.000
As we see, there are really a lot of groups to support AI can run on the web and they go into the web ecosystem.

04:49.000 --> 04:58.000
But we still think we lack a place to talk about AI in purpose like so.

04:58.000 --> 05:04.000
As I mentioned the question, where we can answer this question.

slide-6
05:04.000 --> 05:13.000
So, months ago, we tried to set up an interest group called Web and AI Interest Group.

05:13.000 --> 05:18.000
Now this charter has already gone into the AC review.

05:18.000 --> 05:22.000
I believe most of you have already received the review request.

05:22.000 --> 05:25.000
Please, help to review this charter.

05:25.000 --> 05:38.000
And yeah, this interest group wants to provide a forum to explore and discuss how emerging AI related to technology impacts and intersects with the web.

05:38.000 --> 05:46.000
And also consider how the community could collaborate to shape these evolutions for the benefits of a web user.

slide-7
05:46.000 --> 05:54.000
And besides this interest group, we also want to host a workshop in the near future.

05:54.000 --> 05:58.000
Now this workshop is still in discussion.

05:58.000 --> 06:04.000
If you want to have any comments, please find this slide and go into the GitHub issue.

06:04.000 --> 06:17.000
And we want this workshop focused on the AI agents and web browser to explore the intersection of the AI agents and the web browsers.

slide-8
06:17.000 --> 06:25.000
Okay, to wrap up, we welcome people can collaboration on the web and AI.

06:25.000 --> 06:30.000
Not because it's a really hot topic, but it's really important to the web.

06:30.000 --> 06:38.571
There are several ways I listed here, maybe engaging the upcoming, if there is no objection,

06:38.571 --> 06:48.000
the upcoming Web AI interest group, to explore the AI and the web from a holistic and strategic perspective.

06:48.000 --> 07:04.000
And also I listed a lot of working groups so you can join them and to contribute to your use case and the requirements and technical insights, help to shape the standard use for AI.

07:04.000 --> 07:10.000
And also welcome to join the discussion and upcoming the AI agent and the workshop.

07:10.000 --> 07:17.000
And by the way, in next hour, we will have AI agent and the web breakout session.

07:17.000 --> 07:22.000
Also welcome to communicate with Dominique there.

slide-10
07:22.000 --> 07:26.000
Yes, that's all I have for today. Thank you.
