HUMAN ASSURANCE / AGENTIC AI

NEUROMORPHIC HUMAN ASSURANCE FOR AGENTIC AI

HUMAN AUTHORITY | MACHINE EXECUTION

HUMAN AUTHORITY | MACHINE EXECUTION

Neuromorphic Human Assurance

Independently Of Credentials

Enabling verifiable human authority behind AI agents

01 / THE CHALLENGE

THE ABILITY TO ACT
DOES NOT CONFER THE AUTHORITY TO ACT

AI agents can transact, make purchases, access information and execute instructions on behalf of a person

Their credentials may be valid

Their permissions may be recognised

Their actions may be technically authorised

But none of these, on their own, establishes that the actual person authorised the agent to act

A person's identity is inherent in the person - not in the myriad of different credentials, numbers and codes assigned to them

QiD Agentic takes a fundamentally different approach to establishing identity…

Using the power of neuromorphic computing, QiD Agentic interprets a person's unique identity directly, independently of conventional identity credentials or biometric templates

The result is a persistent, anonymous identity reference that can be used to recognise the same person across any number of different interactions over time

For Agentic AI, this introduces an important possibility: establishing the actual identity of the person from whom the AI agent derives its authority - without requiring the AI agent to possess that person's credentials

02 / THE QiD PROPOSITION

IDENTITY BELONGS TO THE PERSON - NOT TO THEIR CREDENTIALS

IDENTITY IS DISCOVERED - CREDENTIALS ARE ASSIGNED

03 / HOW IT COULD WORK

FROM HUMAN IDENTITY TO AGENT AUTHORITY

An AI agent's authority begins with the actual person who grants it

QiD Agentic provides the independent human identity assurance upon which that authority is securely established and delegated

01

IDENTIFY

QiD Agentic establishes the identity and liveness of the actual person authorising an AI agent to act

QiD CAPABILITY

02

AUTHORISE

The person explicitly approves an AI agent's intended actions, permissions and limitations

AUTHORISATION SERVICE

03

DELEGATE

A secure authorisation service grants the agent limited, verifiable authority to act on the person's behalf

DELEGATION SERVICE

04

EXECUTE

The AI Agent performs authorised actions, while independent systems verify and enforce the permissions granted

AGENT + PLATFORM

The person's verified identity is securely bound to the specific authority they approve

Proposed integration model combining QiD identity assurance with independent authorisation infrastructure

04 / THE OPPORTUNITY

THE HUMAN ASSURANCE LAYER FOR AGENTIC AI

As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of people, their authority must originate from a legitimate source

QiD Agentic provides the independent human identity assurance that connects an agent's delegated authority to the actual person behind it

Potential applications include:

Financial Transactions

Enable AI agents to initiate payments and financial transactions under the verifiable authority of the actual person who authorised them

Digital Commerce

Allow AI agents to purchase goods and services on behalf of people, subject to independently verified human authorisation

Enterprise Workflows

Establish the human source of authority when AI agents access systems, approve transactions or execute business processes

Personal AI Agents

Give personal AI agents a verifiable connection to the actual person authorising their actions - without exposing conventional identity credentials

THE NEXT CONVERSATION STARTS WITH A HUMAN

AFFIRMING HUMAN AUTHORITY AT THE HEART OF EVERY AGENTIC AI

As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of people, establishing the legitimate human source of their authority becomes essential

QiD is exploring how neuromorphic human assurance could help make that possible - independently of conventional identity credentials

We invite AI developers, technology companies and financial institutions to explore the possibilities with us
