The evolution from APIs to AI agents

Panel discussion

Aaron Partouche from Colt Technology Services and Tapas Ranjan from Rakuten Symphony discuss the relationship between emerging AI agent protocols and established telecom API frameworks. They examine how MCP acts as a semantic bridge for developers while Camara and the Open Gateway provide network exposure standards. The conversation addresses practical challenges operators face with LLM-driven agent traffic, including authentication issues, state management and the need for new commercial models as the industry moves towards autonomous network operations.
