Estonia said it will be the first country in the world to create digital identities for artificial intelligence (AI) agents.
Agents are systems that can perceive information, make decisions and autonomously perform tasks to achieve specific goals. Many of the major AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Microsoft, have deployed agents within their popular chatbots.
The Estonian government will launch “AI ID codes” that will enable the agents to act on behalf of people, companies or organisations with defined limits, it said.
