Summary
Ingo Friese is a research engineer at T-Labs Berlin with 10+ years shaping AI-driven, standards-aware systems for telecommunications and smart cities. He focuses on Level 5 autonomous networks and advocates a novel agentic web architecture where cooperative AI agents negotiate, delegate, and collectively solve problems to enable truly self-running networks. Combining hands-on design and implementation with product ownership, he works at the intersection of AI, IoT and telecom standards and represents Deutsche Telekom in oneM2M. His background in identity, AAA and IoT identity initiatives (including founding the Identities of Things group in Kantara) gives him a rare systems-level view of security and governance for autonomous network agents. He pursues not just technical feasibility but the socio-economic question of how far autonomy should extend—whether networks should remain human-governed systems or become economic actors in their own right.
