AI agents may need more than credentials and access controls: Forbes Technology Council contributor Pravir Malik argues that high-consequence actions should require independent evidence and approval tied to the specific action.

Malik proposes hardware roots of trust that cannot be exported, alongside bounded verification receipts rather than increasingly detailed records. He describes this as a research and engineering direction, not a production-ready security device. A useful distinction: an agent proving who it is does not, by itself, prove it should be allowed to act.

Discuss: Should AI agents be allowed to act on valid credentials alone, or should consequential actions require independent approval each time?
