The Agent Declaration and Assurance Community Group<\/a> has been launched:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As autonomous AI agents shift from sandboxed assistants to independent actors capable of running code, managing financial assets, and interacting with critical infrastructure, the digital ecosystem faces a significant trust deficit. Traditional identity frameworks are built for humans or static machines; they fail to capture the dynamic, non-human nature of AI agents. Without systematic approaches to disclosure, it is impossible to programmatically verify what an agent is, who is responsible for it, and what it is safely permitted to do.<\/p>\n\n

The Agent Declaration and Assurance Community Group (ADACG) is dedicated to developing cryptographic, verifiable mechanisms for autonomous AI systems to declare their identity, operational boundaries, and alignment constraints. These mechanisms will include Agent Declaration (how an agent presents its capabilities and guardrails) and Agent Assurance (how external systems verify those claims at runtime). By developing open specifications like the Open KYA (Know Your Agent) Manifest, the group aims to foster a secure, transparent ecosystem where human and synthetic actors can interact with mutual trust and verifiable assurance.<\/p>\n\n
