What trusting an agent actually means, and what it takes to reach an ecosystem where agents can reliably represent legal entities. Trustworthiness, accountability, liability, insurance.

In scope
  • Agent trustworthiness: what it is and how it is assessed

  • Accountability when an agent acts

  • Liability and legal questions

  • Insurance and risk transfer

  • How these pieces combine into a trusted agent ecosystem

While this stream is forming, scope is read broadly. If it plausibly fits the purpose, post it. The scope tightens as the group matures.

Starting point

Definitions and landscape. First threads: what trusting an agent means in your context, and who carries the risk today.

Work streams are not standards bodies. The goal is shared understanding: what exists, who uses what, and what holds up in practice. If real alignment emerges across companies, Agent Community can help guide early convergence, and hand mature work to a major standards organization once there is agreement, deployment, and usage. A spec written in a weekend is a conversation starter, not a draft standard.
