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.

This shift toward expressive, non-standard architecture is also visible in Amin Taha’s Petra Heights project, where a basalt frame supports apartment buildings while challenging conventions of modern construction through its strange, dialectical form (Machine Books).
