Estonia plans government IDs giving AI agents rights and responsibilities
There’s no shortage of agentic AI tools out there that offer to perform online tasks on your behalf, if only you’ll give them all your passwords and credit card details.
AI Summary
Estonia’s AI Council is proposing a new framework that would issue government‑backed digital identities for AI agents. The identities would specify the powers that a person or company is willing to delegate to the agent, clarifying what tasks the AI can perform and when it must stop. The plan aims to give AI agents clear rights and responsibilities, reducing uncertainty about when they should cease acting on behalf of users. The proposal is part of Estonia’s broader effort to regulate agentic AI tools that can carry out online tasks.
