Potential Topics — AIW #3
The agenda will be co-created the day of the event by attendees using Open Space Technology. These are ideas folks have submitted as they register, shared to give perspective on what participants are thinking about discussing.
🌐 Open Space Technology
We use Open Space Technology to co-create the agenda live the morning of the event. Below is the list of what attendees shared with us as they registered about topics they hope to learn about, want to present about and topics to discuss with others at the event. It is important to note this list is not used to "create the agenda" that is done by everyone gathered in person November 6, 2026 beginning at 9am.

📋 Proposed Topics
- Newest state of AI agents
- Secure mandates for agent chains: carrying revocable, auditable authority across MCP and A2A hops
- Agent identity is not enough: the authority, memory, and intent layer above it
- Behavioral coherence as a runtime trust signal (trust asymmetry and the completion drive)
- Human authority at machine speed: execution-time consent and revocation
- Sovereign identity for organizations: what agent authority looks like when AI joins the org chart
- Keeping mandates sovereignty-preserving, not surveillance
- Progress on A2A, AAuth, OAuth support for agentic-driven flows
- OAuth-related metadata standards evolution
- Implications to JWTs and claims for supporting agentic workflows
- Workload-based access grants and flows
- Where agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool authorization is actually heading: GNAP and OAuth extensions for agents, AuthZEN for fine-grained authorization, capability narrowing and revocation across delegation hops, KERI/ACDC and SEDI for cryptographic authority
- How MCP and A2A are converging on identity and mandate
- How the community keeps a human, a company, or a nation the source of authority at execution time as agents chain calls across tools and organizations
- How trust and behavioral signals can travel with an agent without becoming surveillance
