Trusted AI Agents
Working Group
aka: Trusted Agents
Scope of Work
The Trusted AI Agents Working Group (WG) at the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) focuses on defining an opinionated, interoperable stack to enable trustworthy, privacy-preserving, and secure AI agents. These agents act on behalf of users or systems and require robust mechanisms for identity, authority, and governance.
