### AI overview

This commentary argues that AI agents are becoming operational actors with distinct identities, permissions, and lifecycles. It describes Cisco's approach of assigning agents identities, linking them to accountable humans, limiting permissions, and requiring human approval for proposed changes, while emphasizing that accountability and ongoing oversight remain unresolved challenges.
