Agentic AI is powerful, but deploying it without controls is like giving every employee unrestricted access to your most sensitive systems. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening across enterprises today. Per the Arcade, the global Agentic AI market is expected to grow from $5.25 billion in 2024 to $199.05 billion by 2034. As AI agents move from experimental tools to autonomous decision makers, they are negotiating contracts, processing transactions, and accessing sensitive data, all without a standardized way to prove who they are or what they’re authorized to do. Gartner projects that by 2026, over 40% of enterprise workflows will involve autonomous agents. One answer gaining traction across the industry: AI agents need cryptographic passports. So what is a cryptographic passport? Think of it as a blockchain-secured digital ID that proves an agent is legitimate, defines exactly what it’s authorized to do, and can be revoked instantly when something goes wrong.

Full opinion : Agentic AI is powerful but deploying it without trust controls is risky.
