Summit on Human Agency

Human-Authorized: The Summit on Human Agency, is a first-of-its-kind gathering focused on an urgent unlock for the coming “agentic” economy: proof of human control over AI.

AI agents are being designed to negotiate contracts, move money, access sensitive data, coordinate work, and make decisions across systems. But none of this can scale safely unless we can reliably prove we are human, that our relationships – with organizations and with other people – are real, and that through those relationships we rightfully claim authority over AI workflows.

At the Summit on Human Agency, business and technical leaders will engage directly with technologies, compliance and governance models, and trust frameworks that allow human intent and authority to be securely expressed inside an agentic AI system. Attendees will be exposed to a rich new “intention economy” in which people and businesses unlock AI’s immense potential, with their data, under their control, on their terms.

Through live demonstrations of privacy-preserving personhood and relationship credentials, and with hands-on experimental tools, attendees will see how these vital proofs of human connectedness can move agentic systems from experimentation to approval and adoption.

Attendees will explore how emerging approaches make it possible to:

• Establish verifiable personhood without surveillance
• Anchor real human and organizational relationships to AI agents
• Delegate authority to agents that remain accountable and reversible
• Enable agents to act, transact, and decide within provable bounds
• Secure provable control of one’s AI infrastructure, data and agents

Held one day before The Linux Foundation Member Summit, this invite-only event is hosted by H2H in partnership with Affinidi, LF Decentralized Trust, and the Advanced AI Society. It brings together leaders across AI, enterprise systems, finance, digital identity, open-source standards, and media. These sectors share a common need: trusted, privacy-preserving ways to assert human authority in automated systems.

If you are responsible for deploying AI agents, authorizing their use, or shaping the rules they operate under, this Summit addresses the questions you will soon be required to answer.
