AI agents can only be truly autonomous if they have the authority to act and that authority is tightly controlled. At ODSC AI West 2026, @ianlivingstone, Co-Founder & CEO of @KeycardAI, will present “Autonomy Requires Authority: Building Auth for AI Agents.” Ian brings 15+ years of experience across developer tools, security infrastructure, and platform engineering, including previous roles at Snyk and Salesforce. At Keycard, his work focuses on trusted, autonomous agents and the infrastructure needed to let them access tools and services safely. In this session, he’ll explore the shift from static credentials and inherited permissions toward ephemeral access, delegated authority, runtime context, and attributable agent actions.
