Satya Nadella’s take on managing AI agents is basically: treat them like employees. Give them their own digital identities, dedicated sandboxes, role-based permissions, specific inboxes. Don’t let them roam freely through internal networks. According to Times of India, that’s the direction tech leaders are converging on as companies figure out how agents and humans coexist inside the same systems. The identity part is what stands out to me. Once you accept that agents need verifiable identities, you’re also accepting that human vs. agent needs to be a hard, provable distinction. Not just a label someone assigned in a config file. That’s a genuinely hard infrastructure problem. Tools for Humanity is already working on this. World ID handles the human side, cryptographic proof that an action was taken by a real person. AgentKit extends that to agents themselves, giving them verifiable on-chain identities with scoped permissions. Which is almost exactly what Nadella is describing, just built from the protocol layer up rather than the corporate policy layer down. The employee analogy is useful. It also quietly reveals how unprepared most identity infrastructure is for a world where not everything acting inside a system is a person. submitted by /u/Electrical_Mine1912
