Last week we announced The reason is simple: AI agents can authenticate, sign requests, and operate autonomously. But existing infrastructure was never designed to verify who owns the agent, whether actions were actually approved by a human, or what permissions the agent should have. API keys and credentials can authenticate requests, but they can’t prove human ownership, explicit approval, or accountability. AG9 introduces a verification flow for agents. → Register the agent → Complete a palm scan to link the agent to a verified human → Approve actions and permission scope → Verify ownership + approvals programmatically through the API Agents can now carry persistent identity, verified ownership, and human-bound accountability across platforms and systems.
