Google has transferred its Agent2Agent (A2A) communication protocol to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, joining Anthropic's MCP protocol to create common standards for multi-agent AI systems. This move aims to foster an open, scalable ecosystem analogous to the mobile ecosystem, facilitating a cooperative 'internet of agents' through neutral governance.
