International Telecommunication Union

United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies.

The new ITU Focus Group on Trust and Identity for Humans and Agentic AI, announced at the AI for Good Global Summit, comes as artificial intelligence evolves quickly beyond assistive tools and increasingly into autonomous agents acting on behalf of people. The ITU Focus Group will address these challenges by developing frameworks that preserve meaningful human control for tasks such as executing financial transactions and operating critical infrastructure.
