As large language models increasingly use tools, credentials, and transaction capabilities, AI security concerns are shifting from harmful outputs toward accountability for autonomous actions, with OWASP identifying excessive agency as a major risk area. The text argues that effective controls such as least-privilege access, approval workflows, and audit logs depend on linking an agent’s authority to a verified human or business principal, while deepfakes and biometric injection attacks are making basic identity checks less reliable. It notes that regulators, including UK financial authorities, are beginning to promote “know your agent” approaches, and that EU AI Act transparency obligations have applied since August 2026 alongside existing AML, privacy, financial-resilience, and crypto rules. Emerging IETF proposals seek to standardize delegated agent authorization, but all rely on a trustworthy root identity that authorization protocols alone cannot establish. The proposed architecture combines robust onboarding verification, agent credentials bound to verified principals, continuous sanctions and risk monitoring, risk-based reauthentication, and comprehensive logs. The text presents Didit as a provider of API-based KYC, liveness, fraud monitoring, AML screening, transaction monitoring, and business-verification services intended to support this identity and accountability framework.
