Frequently Asked Questions
Why do AI agents need identity controls?
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.
How does biometric access relate to AI agents?
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.
Is AI agent identity the same as human identity proofing?
No. Human identity proofing establishes who the person is; AI agent identity controls establish the agent, its authority, its session, and its allowed actions.
