The OSI model was designed for an Internet of Information, where networks move data between deterministic endpoints. As Agentic AI introduces autonomous systems that communicate, collaborate, and exchange context, data transport alone may no longer be enough. This article explores the idea of extending the OSI model with Layer 8 and Layer 9 to address identity, cognition, semantics, and the exchange of meaning between AI agents.
