Season 4: Ep 2 - Who controls your AI agent? Introducing AC2

Algorand Foundation CSMO Marc Vanlerberghe and CTO Bruno Martins introduce AC2, the Agentic Communication and Control protocol built by Algorand. Marc and Bruno discuss agentic commerce and the trust challenges surrounding AI agents that led to the development of AC2. Bruno shares why the protocol was designed to give users more control over the actions agents take on their behalf. Bruno also shares a demo of AC2 in action, showing how users can communicate directly with an agent and approve actions without handing over control of their keys or credentials. At the end of the episode, Fred Estante, Head of DeFi, shares the latest from across the Algorand ecosystem, including updates on DeFi, x402 adoption, and upcoming changes to governance.Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Algorand Foundation or its affiliates.
