AI agents need someone standing behind them, says AmanTrue CEO Evin McMullen
A passport is not a clever piece of paper. Anyone with a good printer and bad intentions can fake one. What makes it work is the government standing behind it, an authority that vouched for the holder and can withdraw that vouching the moment something goes wrong.

Evin McMullen, co-founder and CEO of AmanTrue, argues that AI agents need a trustworthy "passport" to earn the confidence of users and institutions. She compares the situation to humans relying on institutions to hold individuals accountable when they lie. Currently, AI agents are being tested for competence before deployment, but there is a lack of mechanisms for accountability after launch.
AmanTrue's proposed solution includes an Agent Passport, a credential derived from the verifiable identity of the agent's deployer, and Border Control, a gateway that enforces the rules and constraints set by the receiving system. The passport aims to address the need for accountability and transparency in the aftermath of an AI agent's launch.
Cross-border AI agents, particularly in Southeast Asia, pose additional challenges, as there is currently no standardized framework for managing these complex relationships. AmanTrue emphasizes the importance of independence and flexibility in its solutions, allowing customers to deploy AI agents on their preferred infrastructure.
