The Landscape of AI Agents and Identity
As AI agents grow more autonomous and pervasive—powering workflows, interfacing with users, and making decisions—the question of trust becomes unavoidable. Who are these agents acting on behalf of? What gives them the authority to act? How can we verify their provenance, their integrity, or even revoke that authority when needed?
This presentation explores the evolving landscape of AI Agents and Identity, highlighting the foundational challenges in building trusted agents. We’ll examine:
- Why traditional identity systems fall short in agent-based architectures
- The importance of verifiable identity, delegation, and auditability
- How to ensure agents are acting within their intended boundaries
- Emerging standards and design patterns that aim to make AI agent ecosystems secure, interoperable, and trustworthy
- Whether you're building agentic infrastructure or considering how identity fits into your AI strategy, this is a critical moment to shape the rules of trust.

Meta is excited to announce a deeper collaboration between the AI Alliance and Meta’s Llama Stack, marking a significant milestone in advancing open-source AI development. We invite ISVs and businesses of all sizes to explore partnership opportunities with the AI Alliance, Meta, and Llama Stack. Please fill out this form to be considered for partnership opportunities.
This presentation outlines a solution for easily building and deploying applications with Llama models, addressing challenges faced by both developers and API/service providers. The goal is to simplify tasks like inference, fine-tuning, and evaluation, and to provide production-ready agentic workflows. Llama Stack uses APIs and a plugin architecture to offer a standardized interface and toolchain components, enabling flexible deployments across various environments including on-premise, cloud, and on-device.
