Open Knowledge format v0.2 tackles agentic trust
Google released Open Knowledge Format (OKF) v0.2 on July 24, 2026, adding trust signals to data bundles written by AI agents. This version focuses on providing accountability through explicit signals regarding provenance, trustworthiness, freshness, and attestation.
Why it matters
It allows users and agents to filter for verified information, preventing reliance on inaccurate or improvised AI-generated data in decision-making processes.
The details
- v0.2 introduces optional fields for provenance, trust, freshness, lifecycle, and attestation.
- Attested Computation ensures values are computed via sanctioned methods, not AI improvisation.
- The update is backward-compatible with the original OKF v0.1 specification.
