Estonia to become first country to create digital identities for AI agents

"Stenbock House, 17 June 2026 – At its second meeting, the Eesti.ai advisory board established on the initiative of Prime Minister Kristen Michal has agreed that Estonia will move forward with the creation of digital identities for AI agents, or ‘AI ID codes’. The head of government backed the board’s proposal to develop a solution that will enable AI to act on behalf of people, companies or organisations within clearly defined limits and in a manner that is both verifiable and auditable."

A blueprint?

I think this is a reasonable approach especially on the traceability and thus accountability side. I think if this is successful within Estonia, global buy-in would be next.

Always impressive to see the Estonian approach.
