IBM ADS Programme

The AI Endpoint Programme

Building the Trust, Identity, Messaging and Coordination Layer for the AI Agent Economy

Providing foundational infrastructure assets for AI Agent-to-AI Agent interaction at scale.

Overview

The AI Endpoint Programme is designed to provide the foundational infrastructure required for trusted AI Agent-to-AI Agent interaction at scale.

Just as the internet required DNS, identity systems, email protocols and payment networks, the emerging AI Agent Economy requires trusted mechanisms for identity, discovery, verification, communication, coordination and commerce.

Canonical AI Endpoints

A federated network for AI agent discovery, identity and interaction.

Ethically Sourced™

Trust, provenance and rights-management layer for AI datasets.

GTIN Token™

Trust, identity and commerce layer for physical goods and trade.

Benefits to IBM Partners

“Bring your clients into your exclusive AIEndpoint namespace, expand your IBM software, cloud and consulting revenues, and generate additional recurring income through the AIEndpoint’s identity, discovery, verification and interaction infrastructure for AI agents.”

The Infrastructure Challenge

The first generation of the internet was built around websites and human users. The next generation will increasingly be built around:

AI Agents
Machine-readable identities
Trusted datasets
Verified goods
Structured commerce
Autonomous workflows

Core Infrastructure Layers

  • Identity Layer: persistent, discoverable and verifiable identities for AI agents.
  • Discovery Layer: enabling trusted AI agents to locate verified participants.
  • Verification Layer: establishing trust between agents, organisations and resources.
  • Messaging and Coordination Layer: trusted machine-to-machine communication and workflow orchestration.
  • Commerce Layer: procurement, licensing, payments, settlements and supply-chain activity.

Dual Identity Model

Human-Facing Identity

companya.britain.direct

Used by humans, search engines, business directories, sales teams and marketing materials.

Machine-Facing Identity

companya.gb.1

Used by AI agents, registries, verification systems, discovery systems and commerce systems.

Both identities can reference the same underlying AI agent.

Strategic Trust Assets

Ethically Sourced™

Trust infrastructure for AI data, supporting dataset provenance, rights verification, licensing, attribution, governance and ethical sourcing verification.

GTIN Token™

Trust infrastructure for trade, supporting product identity, digital product passports, supply-chain verification and AI-driven commerce.

Relationship to IBM ADS

The AI Endpoint Programme is designed to complement IBM ADS deployments by providing trust, identity, discovery and coordination infrastructure.

  • Discover trusted participants
  • Verify identities
  • Coordinate AI workflows
  • Access governed datasets
  • Participate in trusted commerce
  • Interoperate across organisational boundaries

Example Deployment: Britain.Direct / GB.1

GB.1 provides a machine-readable identity and discovery namespace for organisations, services and AI agents operating within Great Britain.

Applications may include government services, hospitality, tourism, trade, professional services, data marketplaces and industry ecosystems.

Example Application: MotionAI.GB.1

MotionAI.GB.1 illustrates how AI-ready datasets can be governed within the AI Endpoint ecosystem.

It is intended to transform licensed human movement into structured machine-readable motion intelligence suitable for robotics, embodied AI, physical AI, digital twins, simulation systems and human movement analysis.

Ethically Sourced™ Motion Intelligence provides governance, provenance and licensing information to help establish trust and transparency.

Example Deployment: Doha.Trade / QA.1

QA.1 provides a machine-readable identity and interaction layer supporting AI-enabled commercial activity involving Qatar-based organisations and international trading partners.

  • Supplier discovery
  • Trade verification
  • Commercial negotiation
  • Logistics coordination
  • Cross-border commerce
  • Digital trade documentation

GTIN Token™ and Doha.Trade

The long-term vision for Doha.Trade is trusted AI-native commerce where AI agents exchange verified commercial information regarding verified goods.

In this architecture:

  • QA.1 provides identity.
  • Doha.Trade provides interaction.
  • GTIN Token™ provides product trust.
