    NIST proposes ten principles for managing the identity of AI agents.

    • Agents can act with a person's credentials, with their actions attributed to that person.

    • The principles plan to distinguish each agent from its operator and to limit its permissions to its task.

    • According to the author, access control must stay outside the model's reasoning, which can be influenced by untrusted content.

    • According to NIST, current standards and technologies do not yet cover all the principles in all deployments.
