Estonia Is Giving AI Agents 'Personal Identification Codes'

[reACTIONary]

2. As background, Estonia is one of the world's most advanced digital societies...

Every Estonian has a safe, secure government issued digital id that is legally binding. It allows citizens to vote entirely on line from anywhere in the world, to sign legally binding documents, make tax payments, set up business, etc.

They have an e-Residency program that allows entrepreneurs to set up and manage an EU based company from anywhere in the world. All medical records are digitized. All draft laws are posted on line and can be viewed, tracked and commented on during the legislative process.

In this environment, a digital id for "AI agents" should not be very hard to design and implement. It could be an extension of the existing digital id with a link back to the identity of the "owner" or the person for whom it is an "agent."
