JioHotstar CISO Mohd. Shadab Siddiqui proposes a 'passport' system for AI agents—machine identities—to ensure accountability by defining clear mandate, authority, ownership, memory, and lifecycle controls. This governance framework aims to close the accountability gap created when AI agents operate with human-like privileges but without human accountability structures.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must treat AI agents like employees with trackable responsibilities and ownership to prevent operational risks. Implementing 'passports' for machine identities opens a new compliance frontier where every AI action is subject to accountability and governance.
