\u2014Linda Marsa<\/em><\/p>\n In 2001, a decade after inventing the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee articulated a new vision: an internet navigated by autonomous software agents that address our every need, without requiring us to muck about with browsers and search engines ourselves.<\/p>\n At the time, the idea seemed far-fetched. But a quarter-century on, AI agents are beginning to make it a reality. They can triage your inbox, do your grocery shopping, and even access your bank accounts.<\/p>\n This new era is being called the agentic web, and it will inevitably transform the internet.\u00a0Whether the human web survives this transition is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n This is<\/strong> our latest story<\/strong> to become an MIT Technology Review Narrated podcast, which we publish each week on<\/strong> Spotify<\/strong> and<\/strong> Apple Podcasts<\/strong>.
