# AI

As AI agents begin to take on sensitive tasks—from travel planning to healthcare coordination—we need to verify who they are, confirm who they represent, and ensure they access our data and act only with our permission. ProvenAI brings a trusted identity layer to AI by using standards-based verifiable credentials and privacy-preserving protocols to establish cryptographic trust.

ProvenAI addresses a fast-emerging need across sectors like travel, finance, education, where AI is already being deployed. It is ideal for customer-facing AI systems, like chatbots that book travel, process loan applications, or assist with student services—where trust, authentication, and compliance are non-negotiable.

#### How ProvenAI Works

* Prove the AI agent is legitimate\
  AI agents hold and present verifiable credentials to prove their identity and permissions when interacting with services or users.
* Consent to share personal data\
  Users share identity information with the AI agent using verifiable credentials, seeding the agent with the information it needs to provide accurate and relevant information.
* Authenticate users without revealing data\
  ProvenAI supports biometric-linked credentials and zero-knowledge proofs to confirm identity without exposing sensitive data.

ProvenAI is built on Indicio Proven and aligned with EUDI, ISO, and W3C standards, delivering global interoperability with support for wide range of standardized credential formats—including SD-JWTs, mdoc/mDL, JSON-LD, and AnonCreds—and widely used communication protocols like DIDComm and OpenID4VC.

The combination of secure, verifiable digital identity, secure, bi-directional communication, and decentralized governance enable a host of critical features for managing AI agents, chatbots, digital twins, drones, and smart cities. Whether it’s decentralized command and control of drone flight paths, permissioning verifiable AI agents to access your data, or personalized, secure chatbot interaction, Indicio Proven provides powerful, elegant solutions to the emerging authentication and communication challenges around new technologies
