Patchwork AI: Who Controls Your AI Agent's Identity? With W3C & Cisco AGNTCY

🔐 In an agentic world, identity is no longer about login. This expert panel tackles one of the hardest open questions in AI infrastructure: how do autonomous agents identify themselves, authorize actions, and preserve human privacy as they operate across enterprises and open ecosystems? Panelists: Markus Sabadello, W3C DID Specification Editor (Danube Tech) Drummond Reed, Decentralized Identity Pioneer (Trust Over IP) Julu Panat, Cisco AGNTCY Identity Working Group Stephen Curran, Government of British Columbia / Zero Knowledge Privacy Moderated by: Ben Christensen Key topics covered: ✅ Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and the proliferation of 200+ DID methods ✅ Self-certifying identifiers and why they matter for AI agents ✅ TBAC (Tool, Task and Transaction-Based Access Control) for dynamic agent authorization ✅ Zero knowledge proofs for data minimization and privacy preservation ✅ Agent badges, verifiable credentials, and cryptographic identity in AGNTCY ✅ Bring your own memory and user-controlled AI context ✅ What the convergence on Linux Foundation means for the identity stack Every proposal for agentic identity involves DIDs. Here is why. This panel is essential viewing for AI engineers, enterprise security architects, privacy advocates, and standards contributors building the trust layer of the agentic internet. 🔗 Sign up for updates & upcoming events: advanced-ai-society.org 🔗 Join the AGNTCY community: agntcy.org 📧 Contact: [email protected] 🗓️ UPCOMING: Summit on Human AGENTCY, presented in partnership with the Linux Foundation & Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust ──────────────────────────────── 🔔 Subscribe for talks on AI governance, agentic systems, decentralized trust, and the future of human-AI collaboration. #AgenticAI #DecentralizedIdentity #DIDs #ZeroKnowledge #AIGovernance #AdvancedAISociety #PatchworkAI #CiscoAGNTCY #W3C #VerifiableCredentials #AIIdentity #LinuxFoundation
