Daon Wins 3rd Patent for Agentic AI Governance

Daon, the Digital Identity Trust Company, has secured a new patent for governing agentic AI in regulated sectors. This patent addresses a major challenge in using AI safely in production environments. The patent, titled "Methods and Systems for Authorizing Invocation of a Tool by an Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Agent," allows organizations to control specific actions AI agents can take. It's the third patent for Daon focusing on securing and governing autonomous agents. Here's how it works: an authorization checkpoint evaluates an agent's request. It checks the agent's connection to the person it represents, its execution behavior, and the context of the action. If approved, the system issues a "digital permission slip." This slip defines the approved action, its scope, and a time limit. This matters because it helps businesses safely integrate advanced AI, moving beyond the choice between blocking autonomous agents or giving them broad authority.
