Summary
ServiceNow announced AI Passport, a cryptographically signed credential issued to each AI agent. When an agent drifts outside its authorized scope, graduated responses such as redirecting, restricting, or a kill switch can be enforced at runtime, with approval records kept in audit logs. NVIDIA joined as a design and launch partner, and shadow AI detection and cost governance capabilities were announced alongside, with key features expected in Q4 2026. The newsroom blocked direct access, so the content was cross-verified through a press-release republication and multiple independent reports.
Why it matters for our work
The core idea is verifying who is allowed to do what at the moment of execution when many agents work together. As human-AI collaboration scales, governance like this becomes a decisive factor in how fast organizations adopt agents.
