The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations agency for digital technologies, is focused on building trust in Artificial Intelligence (AI) behaviour and identity with its global standards initiative.
The new initiative seeks to develop frameworks for trusted digital identity and to ensure that the behaviour of AI agents remains trustworthy and accountable throughout their lifecycle.
The new ITU Focus Group on Trust and Identity for Humans and Agentic AI, announced the initiative at the just concluded AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, Switzerland.
The initiative is coming at a time that AI is evolving rapidly beyond assistive tools and increasingly into autonomous agents acting on behalf of people.
