Estonia plans government IDs giving AI agents rights and responsibilities

Estonia's AI Council proposes issuing government-backed digital identities for AI agents to establish clear rights and responsibilities. Prime Minister Kristen Michal stated that AI will increasingly perform digital operations for people, companies, or institutions, requiring clear accountability. These personal identification codes aim to specify the exact powers delegated by users to their agents. This initiative serves as an early experiment to introduce a measure of accountability within the increasingly lawless environment of the internet.
