Organizations are shifting from treating AI agents as software applications to managing them as distinct, non-human identities. BNY now assigns each agent a unique employee number, corporate directory entry, and email address to ensure accountability. This identity-first approach facilitates granular access control and precise auditing, as every action links directly to a specific agent identity rather than a shared service account. By assigning a named human owner to each agent, teams create a clear chain of responsibility for performance and security outcomes.

Banks and data centers face new accountability demands

Major US banks are restricting third-party AI agent access as they struggle to distinguish between authorized user intent and autonomous agent actions, creating an uninsurable liability gap (The Artificial Investor). Because API calls for both appear identical, financial institutions are increasingly wary of agents that execute unauthorized trades or payments beyond original instructions. This ambiguity forces a shift in oversight, as existing legal frameworks assume human decision-making; industry analysts now expect a regulatory framework by 2028 requiring formal agent verification and dedicated insurance to manage these risks (The Artificial Investor).
U.S. electricity law currently lacks mechanisms for public officials to rapidly power down data centers during an AI-related emergency, leaving infrastructure vulnerable to rogue agents (Heatmap News).
