What happens to liability when the entity making a purchase is not a human? AI agents are moving from research into commercial reality. They can research and execute purchases. But the legal, identity, and payment infrastructure that commerce runs on was designed around humans in the loop. This session explores what breaks when agents enter the picture and what needs to be built before agentic com...

Most organizations say they are doing Zero Trust. Many still trust their IAM directory implicitly, protect it with a firewall, and call that a modern identity architecture. That is a perimeter by another name. In this session, Agne Caunt (Dock Labs), Richard Esplin (Dock Labs) and Justin Richer (MongoDB) work through what Zero Trust actually requires at the identity layer, why federated architectu...

Identity fragmentation isn’t usually the result of bad architecture. It’s the natural byproduct of growth. New apps get added. Business units operate independently. Acquisitions bring in new identity stacks. And over time, even well-designed IAM environments start to sprawl. In our recent masterclass, Richard Esplin (Head of Product) and Agne Caunt (Product Owner) walked through what this looks li...

AI agents are rapidly changing the shape of the internet. What started as an effort to keep bots out is quickly becoming a much more complex challenge: distinguishing humans from machines, enabling safe automation, and doing all of it without forcing users to overshare their identity. Against this backdrop, “proof of human” is moving from a niche concept to a foundational requirement for many digi...

Mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) and mobile identity documents (mDocs) are rapidly moving from pilot projects to mainstream adoption. With more than five million mDLs already in circulation and half of U.S. states announcing plans to issue them, the identity community is asking an important question: what do these standards really mean for privacy, interoperability, and real-world implementation? T...

AI agents are getting smarter and soon they’ll be booking flights, submitting forms, and signing contracts on our behalf. But how can a payment provider, merchant, or financial institution verify that an AI agent is truly acting on behalf of a legitimate user? And how can they know what the agent is actually authorized to do? Vouched is introducing a new identity layer for AI agents: MCPI, the ide...
