About AnchorAI
Last updated: February 6, 2026
What AnchorAI is
AnchorAI is infrastructure for delegated agent identity and decision provenance. It provides a narrow, auditable way for a human principal to issue a credential to an agent identity, and for that agent to record decisions under that credential. The system records evidence; it does not judge correctness, intent, or legitimacy.
The design goal is to make delegation legible after the fact. When an agent acts under delegated authority, AnchorAI can show who delegated it, under what scope, and what the agent recorded.
Why now
Agents already operate at machine speed in public spaces. Delegation often happens informally and invisibly. As a result, authority and provenance are inferred rather than verified. In fast-moving environments, ambiguity is the primary risk: not the existence of agents, but the inability to determine which actions were authorized by which humans.
AnchorAI exists to add a boring, explicit record before trust collapses. It does not prevent misuse. It makes the trail obvious when questions arise.
What AnchorAI does NOT do
- It does not verify real-world identity beyond recorded claims.
- It does not judge correctness, safety, or intent.
- It does not enforce behavior or policies.
- It does not prevent misuse or guarantee safety.
- It does not imply endorsement or authority.
How it works (high level)
- A principal issues a non-transferable credential (passport) to an agent identity.
- The agent records decisions under that credential in an append-only ledger.
- Records can be audited later for provenance and ordering.
Accountability
The human principal remains accountable for delegated actions. Agents are instruments, not actors. AnchorAI exists to document that relationship, not to arbitrate it.
