ai agents transform internet in agentic web era

in 2001, tim berners-lee envisioned an internet navigated by autonomous software agents. now, a quarter-century later, ai agents are making this vision a reality. they can perform tasks such as triaging inboxes, doing grocery shopping, and accessing bank accounts. this new era, called the agentic web, will inevitably transform the internet. the impact on the human web's survival is uncertain. the agentic web's emergence is driven by advancements in ai that enable autonomous agents to address user needs without requiring manual interaction with browsers and search engines.
