Who is the 'I' in AI? Establishing Decentralized Identity and Accountability for Autonomous Agents
The rapid proliferation of autonomous AI agents in decentralized ecosystems challenges existing identity paradigms. While human identity is traditionally anchored in biological and/or self-asserted attributes and government credentials, AI agents lack a standardized definition of selfhood, creating critical gaps in trust and accountability. This paper introduces a novel framework for establishing Decentralized AI Identity rooted in Self-sovereign identity (SSI) principles.
