But unauthenticated AI agents represent a trust gap in this new three-actor system, according to Rusbridge. He suggests the paradigm shift requires a universal trust layer to enable visibility and governance, which fortunately can be achieved by extending zero-trust identity foundations. It is an evolution, he says, not a revolution. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-biometric-update-podcast-7302272/episodes/the-trust-files-adam-rusbridge-of-ping-identity/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-biometric-update-podcast-7302272/the-trust-files-adam-rusbridge-of-ping-identity.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
