Web 4.0
What is Web 4.0? How Agentic AI Powers the Symbiotic Web
Web 4.0, often called the Symbiotic Web, is the fourth generation of the World Wide Web characterized by a proactive, intelligent partnership between humans and machines. Driven by Agentic AI, Web 4.0 moves beyond the decentralized data of Web 3.0 into a “Read-Write-Own-Act” era where autonomous agents reason across the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to execute complex tasks, anticipate user intent, and manage digital identities with absolute transparency.
