The fix is to move agents out of that corner. At the very least we need to know who is behind it. If you can't show how it operates, it must be linked to a person or a company
AI Agents today sit in the same spot as shell companies
The structure most hated by society, regulators and institutions
Why? Nobody knows who is behind it, and nobody knows how it operates
At @EFDevcon, Mumbai
Private operations, anonymous ownership: the shell company. You get neither. That is the corner where AI agents sit today, and we already let them handle money and make decisions about people
The rules that keep us safe were never written (implicit ~norms)
Today an AI agent hacks a site to get your ticket. Tomorrow one could kill someone, for the same reason: nobody taught it our norms
We absorb them growing up. An agent gets a goal and a prompt

7/ Registries are the oldest technology in this sphere and the one we actually know how to build, and excellently as needed permissionless distributed, censorship-resistant.. Slides and recording coming:
1/ I believe entity (think company,) is the most successful fiction humans ever shipped by far.. It lets strangers pool resources/money, act as one, and be sued as one. AI agents can already do the first two. The third is the whole problem
6/ What an agent needs is not personhood. It needs someone behind it, on record, with an accountability chain anyone can read without asking permission. That is a registry problem, not an AI problem
