Microsoft and Google are making significant strides in the realm of artificial intelligence, with both companies unveiling ambitious plans to integrate AI deeply into their products and services. Microsoft's Build 2025 conference showcased its vision of transforming the operating system into an AI agent platform, emphasizing the development of autonomous systems that can perform complex tasks. Key announcements included the public preview of Microsoft Intra-Agent ID for enhanced identity governance and the integration of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) into Windows, which aims to facilitate seamless communication between AI applications and the operating system.At the same time, Google's I/O conference introduced its AI Ultra Plan subscription model, priced at $249.99 per month, which offers advanced AI features and tools. The company reported that its AI assistant, Gemini, has surpassed 400 million monthly active users. Google is shifting its search engine to an AI mode that provides computer-generated answers for complex queries, moving away from traditional web links. This shift is part of a broader strategy to enhance user experience through hyper-personalized AI capabilities, leveraging personal data to deliver tailored responses.Both companies are also aligning on the Model Context Protocol, a significant step toward standardization in AI agent architecture. This protocol is expected to enhance interoperability between AI agents and various tools, allowing for more efficient data connections. The collaboration on MCP signifies a rare moment of unity among major tech players, potentially leading to a universal standard for AI systems that could reshape how these technologies interact across platforms.As Microsoft focuses on enterprise-grade identity and OS-level integration, Google is betting on the value of context and ubiquity, positioning its AI as a personal digital assistant that is always accessible. This divergence in strategy highlights the evolving landscape of AI, where privacy, access, and governance will become essential competencies for IT service providers. The competition between these tech giants will likely create new opportunities and challenges for businesses as they navigate the complexities of AI integration and subscription models. Two things to know today 00:00 At Build 2025, Microsoft Wants AI Agents to Be Your Next Coworker — and Your Next System Process06:53 At Google I/O,  Google Redefines Search, Productivity, and Creativity with Personalized AI Agents This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

One of the speakers at the two day conference is Richard Blythman the Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Naptha.AI, a startup building open, decentralised infrastructure for the next generation of AI. Richard's background is in machine learning, engineering, and academic research, and his work focuses on enabling developers to build intelligent agents that can work together, without relying on centralised platforms or Big Tech infrastructure. Ronan recently caught up with Richard. Richard talks about his background, the internet of agents, what naptha does, AI privacy, eu regulation and more.More about Richard Blythman:He previously co-founded Algovera, one of the earliest players in the decentralised AI sector, and holds a PhD in Engineering from Trinity College Dublin. His experience spans from building generative models and digital avatars in Big Tech, to leading research on fluid dynamics, multi-agent coordination, and privacy-preserving AI systems.At Naptha, Richard is exploring how decentralised agent networks could reshape everything from software development to data ownership, and why open standards like MCP are key to unlocking that future.

I interviewed Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott about the future of agents and software engineering for another special edition of AI & I. With 41 years of programming behind him, Kevin has lived through nearly every big shift in modern software development. Here's his clear-eyed take on what's changing with AI, and how we can navigate what's next:The real breakthrough for the agentic web is better plumbing. Kevin thinks agents won't be useful until they can take action on your behalf by using tools and fetching data. To do this, agents need access across your systems—and Microsoft's answer is adopting Model Context Protocol, or “MCP,” that allows an agent to access tools and fresh data beyond its knowledge base, as their standard protocol for agents to move through contexts and get things done.How the agentic web echoes the early internet. Just as protocols like HTTP and HTML gave the web a shared language, Kevin believes the  agentic web needs its own infrastructure—the first glimpses of this include MCP (the HTTP of agents) and NLWeb, Microsoft's push to make websites legible to agents (similar to what HTML did for browsers).Open ecosystems can coexist with strong security systems. Kevin argues that the “tradeoff” between ecosystems that allow “permissionless” innovation and robust security is a false dichotomy. With AI agents that understand your personal risk preferences—and know your communication habits across email, text, and other channels—they could detect when something suspicious is happening and act on your behalf. The craftsman's dilemma in the age of agents. Kevin is a lifelong maker—of software, ceramics, even handmade bags—and he cares deeply about how things are made. Because this can feel at odds with coding with AI agents, Kevin's approach is to notice where the process matters most to him, and where it's okay to optimize for outcomes. After four decades of seeing breakthrough technologies, his advice is simple: be curious, try stuff, and use it if it works for you.The future of software engineering agents is plural. Kevin believes the future of software engineering agents will be diverse because developers who enjoy the freedom of playing with different tools is one of the most consistent patterns he's seen in his decades in tech. What will drive this diversity, he says, is builders who deeply understand specific problems and tailor agents to solve them exceptionally well.How agentic workflows will evolve. Kevin sees a shift from short back-and-forth interactions with agents to longer, async feedback loops. As the agentic web matures and model reasoning improves, people will start handing off bigger, more ambitious tasks and letting agents run with them.Timestamps:Introduction: 00:01:44The race to close the “capability overhang”: 00:02:49How agents will evolve into practical, useful tools: 00:04:31The role Kevin sees Microsoft playing in the agent ecosystem: 00:06:48How robust security measures can coexist with open ecosystems: 00:12:05Kevin's philosophy on being a craftsman in the age of agents: 00:15:39How the landscape of software development agents will evolve: 00:20:52The future of agentic workflows: 00:25:33

In this episode of The Moss Report, Ben Moss speaks with Dr. Ralph Moss about a little-known natural compound that may have big implications: Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP). A recent clinical trial in Israel found that MCP helped slow PSA doubling time in men with recurrent prostate cancer—suggesting it may offer real, measurable support for patients after treatment. Ben and Ralph trace the story from its origins in the 1990s through modern-day research, digging into how MCP works by targeting Galectin-3, a molecule tied to inflammation and cancer spread. Along the way, they highlight the researchers who kept this idea alive, including Dr. Kenneth Pienta and Dr. Isaac Eliaz, and ask why this research isn't more widely known. It's an honest, science-based conversation about where evidence and action meet—and how natural approaches might still be flying under the radar.

At Google Cloud Next '25, the company introduced Ironwood, its most advanced custom Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) to date. With 9,216 chips per pod delivering 42.5 exaflops of compute power, Ironwood doubles the performance per watt compared to its predecessor. Senior product manager Chelsie Czop explained that designing TPUs involves balancing power, thermal constraints, and interconnectivity. Google's long-term investment in liquid cooling, now in its fourth generation, plays a key role in managing the heat generated by these powerful chips. Czop highlighted the incremental design improvements made visible through changes in the data center setup, such as liquid cooling pipe placements. Customers often ask whether to use TPUs or GPUs, but the answer depends on their specific workloads and infrastructure. Some, like Moloco, have seen a 10x performance boost by moving directly from CPUs to TPUs. However, many still use both TPUs and GPUs. As models evolve faster than hardware, Google relies on collaborations with teams like DeepMind to anticipate future needs.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest AI infrastructure insights from Google Cloud:Google Cloud Therapist on Bringing AI to Cloud Native InfrastructureA2A, MCP, Kafka and Flink: The New Stack for AI AgentsJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a new open standard that connects AI assistants to arbitrary data sources and tools, such as codebases, APIs, and content repositories. Instead of building bespoke integrations for each system, developers can use MCP to establish secure, scalable connections between AI models and the data they need.

In this insightful episode of Generation AI, hosts Ardis Kadiu and JC Bonilla tackle Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new standardization that's gaining rapid adoption across the AI industry. They explain how MCP functions as a universal adapter between AI models and data sources, solving the "Frankenstein middleware" problem that makes building AI agents so complex today. The hosts break down why this matters for higher education professionals, how it reduces hallucinations by improving data access, and why major players like OpenAI, Google, and HubSpot are already implementing it. This episode offers critical insight into how standardization will make AI tools more useful and less complex for everyone.What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)? (00:01:00)Introduction to MCP as a standardization protocol for AI agentsHosts explain MCP as a way to help AI access context and dataThe "three-legged stool" of AI agents: intelligence, context, and actionMCP provides the standard for how agents communicate with data sourcesMCP as the Universal AI Adapter (00:04:42)JC compares MCP to standardized protocols like TCP/IP and USB-CMCP sits between models like Claude or Gemini and various data sourcesIt eliminates the need for custom connectors between each tool and AI modelThe protocol's simplicity as a minimal viable product (MVP) is key to its successHow MCP Works (00:07:03)MCP is a protocol, not an API, that describes format and flow"Discovery first" approach where AI asks "what can you do?"Uses JSON format for tools and data exchangeWorks both locally and remotely over HTTPThe Technical Benefits of MCP (00:13:14)Solves the "m by n headache" of needing separate connectors for each model-tool pairReduces hallucinations by providing AI with reliable data sourcesGives AI models access to specialized tools for tasks they struggle withEnables "grounding" in real data rather than making things upIndustry Adoption and Momentum (00:17:14)OpenAI, Google, HubSpot, LangChain and others already implementing MCPHubSpot's beta MCP server allows for direct CRM data access in ClaudeGrowing availability for tools like Slack, Teams, and ZapierDiscussion of how MCP layers on top of existing APIsPractical Applications (00:20:36)Higher education examples: connecting LMS, advisor notes, financial aid systemsSales use case: AI agents accessing CRM data through MCP for follow-upsDevOps: AI monitoring logs, creating tickets, and managing communicationAnalytics: Connecting data sources, models, and reporting tools seamlesslyChallenges and Considerations (00:23:17)MCP requires widespread adoption to be truly effectiveProduct teams must be convinced to implement it alongside existing APIsPossibility that another protocol might eventually win outCurrent technical hurdles for implementation that are being addressedCall to Action for Listeners (00:26:03)Experiment with MCP servers that connect to Claude desktopFor AI product builders: write MCP servers for your applications nowAsk AI vendors: "Do you speak MCP?" as a signal of cutting-edge capabilityMCP as the new standard, comparable to asking "Do you have an API?"Conclusion: The Future of AI Integration (00:29:14)MCP's architectural implications for more open, modular AI systemsThe need for agents to speak a common language across platformsInvitation for listeners to share which workflows they'll connect once MCP goes mainstream - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

This week we talk about the Marshall Plan, standardization, and USB.We also discuss artificial intelligence, Anthropic, and protocols.Recommended Book: Fuzz by Mary RoachTranscriptIn the wake of WWII, the US government implemented the European Recovery Program, more commonly known as the Marshall Plan, to help Western Europe recover from a conflict that had devastated the afflicted countries' populations, infrastructure, and economies.It kicked off in April of 1948, and though it was replaced by a successor program, the Mutual Security Act, just three years later in 1951—which was similar to the Marshall Plan, but which had a more militant, anti-communism bent, the idea being to keep the Soviets from expanding their influence across the continent and around the world—the general goal of both programs was similar: the US was in pretty good shape, post-war, and in fact by waiting to enter as long as it did, and by becoming the arsenal of the Allied side in the conflict, its economy was flourishing, its manufacturing base was all revved up and needed something to do with all the extra output capacity it had available, all the resources committed to producing hardware and food and so on, so by sharing these resources with allies, by basically just giving a bunch of money and assets and infrastructural necessities to these European governments, the US could get everybody on side, bulwarked against the Soviet Union's counterinfluence, at a moment in which these governments were otherwise prone to that influence; because they were suffering and weaker than usual, and thus, if the Soviets came in with the right offer, or with enough guns, they could conceivably grab a lot of support and even territory. So it was considered to be in everyone's best interest, those who wanted to keep the Soviet Union from expanding, at least, to get Europe back on its feet, posthaste.So this program, and its successor program, were highly influential during this period, and it's generally considered to be one of the better things the US government has done for the world, as while there were clear anti-Soviet incentives at play, it was also a relatively hands-off, large-scale give-away that favorably compared with the Soviets' more demanding and less generous version of the same.One interesting side effect of the Marshall Plan is that because US manufacturers were sending so much stuff to these foreign ports, their machines and screws and lumber used to rebuild entire cities across Europe, the types of machines and screws and lumber, which were the standard models of each in the US, but many of which were foreign to Europe at the time, became the de facto standard in some of these European cities, as well.Such standards aren't always the best of all possible options, sometimes they stick around long past their period of ideal utility, and they don't always stick, but the standards and protocols within an industry or technology do tend to shape that industry or technology's trajectory for decades into the future, as has been the case with many Marshall Plan-era US standards that rapidly spread around the world as a result of these giveaways.And standards and protocols are what I'd like to talk about today. In particular a new protocol that seems primed to shape the path today's AI tools are taking.—Today's artificial intelligence, or AI, which is an ill-defined type of software that generally refers to applications capable of doing vaguely human-like things, like producing text and images, but also somewhat superhuman things, like working with large data-sets and bringing meaning to them, are developing rapidly, becoming more potent and capable seemingly every day.This period of AI development has been in the works for decades, and the technologies required to make the current batch of generative AI tools—the type that makes stuff based on libraries of training data, deriving patterns from that data and then coming up with new stuff based on the prompting of human users—were originally developed in the 1970s, but the transformer, which was a fresh approach to what's called deep learning architectures, was first proposed in 2017 by a researcher at Google, and that led to the development of the generative pre-trained transformer, or GPT, in 2018.The average non-tech-world person probably started to hear about this generation of AI tools a few years later, maybe when the first transformer-based voice and image tools started popping up around the internet, mostly as novelties, or even more likely in late-2022 when OpenAI released the first version of ChatGPT, a generative AI system attached to a chatbot interface, which made these sorts of tools more accessible to the average person.Since then, there's been a wave of investment and interest in AI tools, and we've reached a point where the seemingly obvious next-step is removing humans from the loop in more AI-related processes.What that means in practice is that while today these tools require human prompting for most of what they do—you have to ask an AI for a specific image, then ask it to refine that image in order to customize it for your intended use-case, for instance—it's possible to have AI do more things on their own, working from broader instructions to refine their creations themselves over multiple steps and longer periods of time.So rather than chatting with an AI to come up with a marketing plan for your business, prompting it dozens or hundreds of times to refine the sales copy, the logo, the images for the website, the code for the website, and so on, you might tell an AI tool that you're building a business that does X and ask it to spin up all the assets that you need. From there, the AI might research what a new business in that industry requires, make all the assets you need for it, go back and tweak all those assets based on feedback from other AI tools, and then deploy those assets for you on web hosting services, social media accounts, and the like.It's possible that at some point these tools could become so capable in this regard that humans won't need to be involved at all, even for the initial ideation. You could ask an AI what sorts of businesses make sense at the moment, and tell it to build you a dozen minimum viable products for those businesses, and then ask it to run those businesses for you—completely hands off, except for the expressing your wishes part, almost like you're working with a digital genie.At the moment, components of that potential future are possible, but one of the main things standing in the way is that AI systems largely aren't agentic enough, which in this context means they need a lot of hand-holding for things that a human being would be capable of doing, but which they largely, with rare exceptions, aren't yet, and they often don't have the permission or ability to interact with other tools required to do that kind of building—and that includes things like the ability to create a business account on Shopify, but also the ability to access and handle money, which would be required to set up business and bank accounts, to receive money from customers, and so on.This is changing at a rapid pace, and more companies are making their offerings accessible to specific AI tools; Shopify has deployed its own cluster of internal AI systems, for instance, meant to manage various aspects of a business its customers perch on its platform.What's missing right now, though, is a unifying scaffolding that allows these services and assets and systems to all play nice with each other.And that's the issue the Model Context Protocol is meant to address.The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a standard developed by AI company Anthropic, and it's open and designed to be universal. The company intends for it to be the mycelium that connects large language model-based AI to all sorts of data and tools and other systems, a bit like the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, allows data on the web to be used and shared and processed, universally, in a standardized way, and to dip back into the world of physical objects, how standardized shipping containers make global trade a lot more efficient because everyone's working with the same sized boxes, cargo vessels, and so on.The Universal Serial Bus standard, usually shorthanded as USB, is also a good comparison here, as the USB was introduced to replaced a bunch of other standards in the early days of personal computing, which varied by computer maker, and which made it difficult for those makers, plus those who developed accessories, to make their products accessible and inexpensive for end-users, as you might buy a mouse that doesn't work with your specific computer hardware, or you might have a cable that fits in the hole on your computer, but doesn't send the right amount of data, or provide the power you need.USB standards ensured that all devices had the same holes, and that a certain basic level of data and power transmission would be available. And while this standard has since fractured a bit, a period of many different types of USB leading to a lot of confusion, and the deployment of the USB C standard simplying things somewhat, but still being a bit confounding at times, as the same shaped plug may carry different amounts of data and power, despite all that, it has still made things a lot easier for both consumers and producers of electronic goods, as there are fewer plugs and charger types to purchase, and thus less waste, confusion, and so on. We've moved on from the wild west era of computer hardware connectivity into something less varied and thus, more predictable and interoperable.The MCP, if it's successful, could go on to be something like the USB standard in that it would serve as a universal connector between various AI systems and all the things you might want those AI systems to access and use.That might mean you want one of Anthropic's AI systems to build you a business, without you having to do much or anything at all, and it may be capable of doing so, asking you questions along the way if it requires more clarity or additional permissiosn—to open a bank account in your name, for instance—but otherwise acting more agentically, as intended, even to the point that it could run social media accounts, work with manufacturers of the goods you sell, and handle customer service inquiries on your behalf.What makes this standard a standout compared to other options, though—and there are many other proposed options, right now, as this space is still kind of a wild west—is that though it was developed by Anthropic, which originally made it to work with its Claude family of AI tools, it has since also been adopted by OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and several of the other largest players in the AI world.That means, although there are other options here, all with their own pros and cons, as was the case with USB compared to other connection options back in the day, MCP is usable with many of the biggest and most spendy and powerful entities in the AI world, right now, and that gives it a sort of credibility and gravity that the other standards don't currently enjoy.This standard is also rapidly being adopted by companies like Block, Apollo, PayPal, CloudFlare, Asana, Plaid, and Sentry, among many, many others—including other connectors, like Zapier, which basically allows stuff to connect to other stuff, further broadening the capacity of AI tools that adopt this standard.While this isn't a done deal, then, there's a good chance that MCP will be the first big connective, near-universal standard in this space, which in turn means many of the next-step moves and tools in this space will need to work with it, in order to gain adoption and flourish, and that means, like the standards spread around the world by the Marshall Plan, it will go on to shape the look and feel and capabilities, including the limitations, of future AI tools and scaffoldings.Show Noteshttps://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/04/mcp-the-new-usb-c-for-ai-thats-bringing-fierce-rivals-together/https://blog.cloudflare.com/remote-model-context-protocol-servers-mcp/https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2025/05/what-went-wrong-with-wireless-usb.htmlhttps://arxiv.org/html/2504.16736v2https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Context_Protocol#cite_note-anthropic_mcp-1https://github.com/modelcontextprotocolhttps://www.anthropic.com/news/integrationshttps://www.theverge.com/2024/11/25/24305774/anthropic-model-context-protocol-data-sourceshttps://beebom.com/model-context-protocol-mcp-explained/https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/26/openai-adopts-rival-anthropics-standard-for-connecting-ai-models-to-data/https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/09/google-says-itll-embrace-anthropics-standard-for-connecting-ai-models-to-data/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_artificial_intelligencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USBhttps://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/marshall-planhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Planhttps://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R45079https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/marshall-planhttps://www.history.com/articles/marshall-plan This is a public episode.
