Re: Introducing AIR - Open Trust Infrastructure for AI Agents

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your thoughtful sharing — the trust layer for agents is
indeed a critical topic. We have also discussed this extensively in our
community meetings.

In our current design, agent identity is built on top of W3C DIDs as well,
so I believe there is a strong natural alignment and many complementary
aspects between our work. Your approach to trust scoring and verifiable
identity is particularly interesting and relevant to the challenges we are
addressing.

If you are open to it, we would be happy to invite you to one of our
community group meetings to give a short introduction of AIR and share your
insights with the group.

Looking forward to further discussion and potential collaboration.

Best regards,
Gaowei
