Unthinkable Lab Presentation: Agentic AI, APIs & MCP

Is agentic AI the ultimate ‘customer’ for programmable networks? This presentation, featuring expert witness Philippe Ensarguet, VP of software engineering at Orange, provides a masterclass on the fundamental shift from passive GenAI assistance to active, autonomous Agentic AI execution.

Inside this presentation:

• The Integration Paradigm Shift: Move from "configure and call" to "describe and delegate," where (Telco) APIs become tools in an AI’s toolkit rather than rigid developer endpoints.
• MCP: The "USB-C of AI": A deep dive into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a universal translator that bridges the gap between AI models and network infrastructure.
• Horizontal Collaboration: Explore Agent to Agent (A2A) and ADK standards that enable horizontal collaboration across secure, multi-vendor agent systems.
• Architectural Evolution: Key differences between traditional imperative programming and new declarative specification, focusing on autonomous recovery and operational resilience.

Download the presentation to move beyond the hype and explore how standardised, intent-driven interaction will make programmable networks commercially scalable.
