Description

Outshift by Cisco published a whitepaper titled "Scaling out Superintelligence" in January that suggests that new standard network layers will be required for AI agents and humans to work together at scale. It also began designing a distributed infrastructure to support those layers, which it calls the "Internet of Cognition," that helps agents and humans think together with a shared semantic context. In this episode, Guillaume de Saint Marc, vice president of engineering at Outshift, discusses how the project evolved and what's coming next.
