Governance of autonomous agents is converging on a single question: not what a system can do, but what it was permitted to do and who can prove it. Brookings argues that agents behave like delegated decisionmakers and must be governed continuously at runtime, while a June preprint places independent attestation at the point of consequential action. A second paper cautions that logs and hashes prove less than practitioners assume, and AI Frontiers makes the case for agent identity that traces to a legal person. In Massachusetts, a Senate proposal points toward mandatory independent evaluation of AI models.
