    {
      "question": "What is an Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS)?",
      "answer": "An ABIS is a system that automates large-scale biometric matching and identification using algorithms and centralized databases."
    },
    {
      "question": "How does ABIS improve biometric matching?",
      "answer": "ABIS leverages advanced algorithms to process and compare biometric data at scale, reducing manual verification and improving throughput."
    },
    {
      "question": "What are common applications of ABIS?",
      "answer": "Typical use cases include criminal investigations, border security, and large-scale identity verification in government programs."

  "faq": [
    {
      "question": "Why do AI agents need identity controls?",
      "answer": "AI agents may access data, execute tasks, or make decisions, so systems need to know which user or organization authorized the agent and what it is allowed to do."
    },
    {
      "question": "How does biometric access relate to AI agents?",
      "answer": "Biometric or strong local authentication can be used to authorize sensitive agent actions, especially when the agent is operating on a user's device or enterprise endpoint."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is AI agent identity the same as human identity proofing?",
      "answer": "No. Human identity proofing establishes who the person is; AI agent identity controls establish the agent, its authority, its session, and its allowed actions."
