A shift toward stateless sessions in MCP could remove a stubborn operational barrier to deploying AI agents at scale.

Senator Mark Warner is preparing legislation to govern AI agents — potentially the first US legal framework for the autonomous software that is already transacting across retail, finance, and enterprise procurement, PYMNTS reports. A draft of the bill, seen by The Information, addresses scenarios that have no existing regulatory answer. Can a user instruct an outside agent to buy products from Facebook Marketplace? Can Meta or Google throttle agents from competing services? How does a platform

Source: MIT News — Researchers from MIT and Microsoft have developed Murakkab, an intelligent system that streamlines the design of AI agentic workflows and automatically optimises how those workflows are deployed in the cloud. The work will be presented at the USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation. Agentic workflows chain together multiple AI models and external tools — databases, Python programs, APIs — to complete complex multi-step tasks like analysing video or pr
