The initiative aims to make autonomous AI systems identifiable, accountable, and subject to human control. The group will bring together technical, policy, and legal experts to address fragmented and incompatible national regulations — China has already issued its own agent identification rules, while other jurisdictions have taken different approaches. The focus group will hold its first meeting in Paris in November and a second in Geneva in January, with outputs expected to be technical recommendations rather than binding rules. The ITU acknowledges the challenge: AI agents are evolving faster than standards bodies can act, and companies are already setting de facto norms in-house. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
