The First Person Project: Establishing Trust in Personal AI Agents

Location: Venue 1 - 278

Personal AI agents are one of the most exciting areas in AI. They have the potential to assist individuals in thousands of personal tasks, projects, and decisions. But for personal AI agents to take action on behalf of individuals, they must have the explicit trust and permission of their principals. This presentation explores the fundamental challenges of establishing trust relationships between humans and AI agents, including issues of consent, delegation of authority, privacy protection, and accountability. We examine technical solutions for trust frameworks, cryptographic proof systems, and governance models that can enable safe and beneficial personal AI agent deployment.
