Estonia intends to recognize AI agents with digital IDs
Estonia plans to grant AI agents digital identities to enable verified and auditable actions on behalf of individuals, backed by the Eesti.ai advisory board. The initiative aims to establish authorization frameworks to prevent over-delegation of rights, with similar proposals emerging from academic and corporate sectors, including projects like Agent Name Service and DNS for AI Discovery.
