Will collaborate with other member organizations to develop and expand open protocols, tooling and best practices for agent-based AI systems
Dubai, UAE — February 26, 2026 — UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a global leader in agentic automation, today announced it has joined the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) as a Gold Member. Together with other member organizations, UiPath will work with industry leaders to shape standards and collaborate on open source innovation necessary for scaling agentic AI in the enterprise.
The advent of agentic AI represents a new era of autonomous decision-making and coordination across AI systems that will transform industries. As AI moves from experimental to operational, shared and open standards are essential. Research on the economic impact of open source indicates that 89% of organizations adopting AI rely on open source within their infrastructure, reinforcing the importance of neutral governance, agreed standards and open collaboration as agentic architectures mature.
Founded in 2025, the Agentic AI Foundation is an open foundation driving the transparent and collaborative evolution of agentic AI. Agents operating in isolation deliver limited value. Their full potential is realized when they can securely access the tools and systems required to complete tasks.
“Joining the Agentic AI Foundation reflects our commitment to advancing open, enterprise frameworks for agent development, governance and orchestration,” said Raghu Malpani, Chief Technology Officer at UiPath. “Being part of the AAIF’s working groups for governance, regulatory alignment, security and observability allows us to align our products and go-to-market priorities with the compliance, transparency and control requirements of enterprises adopting agentic AI. We aim to help shape standards that support enterprise-grade deployment, measurement and controls, building trust in the promise of agentic AI and automation.”
The UiPath Platform has been an early adopter of open source standards, supporting the Model Context Protocol for agent interactions and agentic orchestration with UiPath Maestro built on the open source Temporal.io engine. This enables customers to adopt the platform with confidence while participating in an open ecosystem of agentic partners supporting Model Context Protocol-compatible, orchestrated end-to-end processes.
In real-world use cases such as claims processing, where organizations orchestrate multiple specialized agents to execute a complete workflow, an open ecosystem based on shared standards allows agents to interact in a standardized manner using a common language within defined governance guardrails.
