## AI overview

The article argues that autonomous AI agents operating across production cloud and on-premises infrastructure do not fit legacy identity models built for humans and simple service accounts. It presents the Teleport Agentic Identity Framework as a standards-driven approach to unified cryptographic identity for securing agentic AI at scale.
