## Resource

How much would you let a machine do for you? How much would you let it do autonomously, on your behalf? These are the questions driving a growing market for identity governance that applies to AI agents, as well as humans. Today’s episode features an interview with Alice Sesay Pope, author of The Trust Algorithm: How Leaders Build Trust in Generative AI. After we hear from Alice, Biometric Update Managing editor Chris Burt discusses about the scaling of the agentic enterprise, and how it’s shaping the digital identity sector.
