# Industry groups propose rival DNS schemes to identify AI agents

Several domain industry players have put forward competing proposals to make artificial intelligence agents discoverable and accountable through the Domain Name System, according to domainbrief.de. Verisign and Identity Digital are among the companies involved, alongside former Tucows chief executive Elliot Noss. The proposals reportedly differ in approach but share the goal of giving AI agents a verifiable presence within existing internet addressing infrastructure. The report did not specify timelines or which proposal, if any, is gaining traction among standards bodies.

## in plain words

Several domain industry companies, including Verisign and Identity Digital, have suggested different ways to use the internet's address system (DNS) to help identify AI programs online. Former Tucows boss Elliot Noss is also involved. The goal is to make AI agents traceable and trustworthy, though it is unclear which idea will be adopted.
