I've always found Satya a salient thinker, and once again he nails it here. As AI gets more capable, we need to keep pushing to democratize access, increase choice, and build the controls that let us adopt it safely at any scale. We started @KeycardAI because we believe in a future where trusted, autonomous agents are everywhere, and everyone can access them and build them themselves. The problem is that agents break the security models we've relied on for decades because they were built for humans, not millions of non-deterministic machines acting on our behalf. Democratizing that future requires authn/z built for this new world: delegated, task-scoped and revocable access, identity carried through every tool call, a tamper-resistant record of who did what and on whose behalf, and intent-based authorization that can reason about what an agent is trying to do and apply deterministic boundaries dynamically at machine scale. That's the infrastructure we're building at @KeycardAI.

Auth for agents is the biggest remaining gap between cool toy and production grade autonomy. The permission problem is perpetuated by an age of human driven computing where static roles and broad scopes were sufficient - it doesn’t work for agents - permissions have to be task scope and contextual to the progression of the task. We’re solving this @KeycardAI
