NIST kicks off security-first standards drive for autonomous AI agents
NIST launches the AI Agent Standards Initiative through its CAISI to develop industry-led standards and protocols that build public trust and enable an interoperable, secure ecosystem for autonomous AI agents. The effort includes an RFI on AI agent security due March 9 and a draft concept on software/AI agent identity and authorization due April 2, reflecting growing adoption of AI agents and ongoing concerns about safety and security across industries.
