How does the EUBW Trust Infrastructure support deployment of AI-agents?

Here’s how EUDI2 supports AI-agents in practice:

1. Trusted Identity Layer

• AI-agents cannot enter into contracts or access sensitive data without credentials.

• EUDI2 establishes a legal and technical trust framework (qualified signatures, seals, mandates, and trust registries).

• This lets AI-agents act on behalf of natural persons or organisations with verifiable delegation, not just “pretend.”

2. Mandates & Representation Credentials

• EUDI wallets carry representation and delegation credentials: “X is authorised to act on behalf of Y.”

• An AI-agent can then be bound by the same mandate — enabling automated contract signing, filing, or procurement tasks.

3. Interoperability & Standardisation

• By harmonising wallet standards across all Member States, EUDI2 guarantees cross-border trust.

• AI-agents can operate seamlessly in the EU Single Market, not siloed by national solutions.

4. Legally Binding Transactions

• EUDI2 anchors qualified electronic signatures and seals in wallets.

• An AI-agent can generate these on behalf of its user or organisation — making its automated actions enforceable under EU law.

5. Data Minimisation & Selective Disclosure

• AI-agents need granular access to data, not “all or nothing.”

• EUDI2 mandates verifiable credentials with selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs, letting AI-agents fetch just the data they need (age, professional license, company mandate, etc.).

6. Trust Registries & Governance

• AI-agents must know which service providers and verifiers are trustworthy.

• EUDI2 foresees EU-wide trust registries to resolve who is a qualified trust service provider (QTSP), issuer, or verifier.

• This allows AI-agents to make decisions autonomously in a legally safe ecosystem.

7. AI-Agent Synergy

• Instead of “AI with no identity,” EUDI2 ensures AI-agents can have wallet-backed identities.

• This supports:

  • automated KYC/AML compliance,

  • autonomous participation in tenders and marketplaces,

  • seamless machine-to-machine and organisation-to-organisation interactions.

✅ In short:
EUDI2 provides the identity, delegation, trust registry, and legal enforceability layers that AI-agents need to operate safely and productively in the EU. Without this wallet infrastructure, AI-agents remain “smart assistants” but not legally empowered actors.
