On March 3, 2026, LF Decentralized Trust hosted the session “Trusted AI Agents by Design: From Trust Ecosystems to Authority Continuity”, presented by Nicola Gallo.
If you are interested in trusted AI agents, authority propagation, and the shift from authority-as-possession to authority-as-continuity, you can watch the session and access the presentation materials here.
Presentation summary. This talk presents PIC (Provenance Identity Continuity) as a model for secure authority propagation across distributed systems and AI agents. The core argument is that AI agents do not create a new security problem, but expose an older one: existing systems rely on possession of artifacts such as tokens, while distributed execution actually depends on temporal-causal continuity from an immutable origin. PIC reframes authority as something that must be continued, never re-created, with preserved origin and monotonically non-expanding authority. Under this model, confused deputy conditions and related authority-propagation failures become structurally inexpressible rather than merely mitigated.
