AWS proposes layered trust framework to give AI agents more autonomy
Amazon Web Services has introduced a Trust in Depth framework aimed at letting enterprise AI agents act with less human approval while keeping control. The approach argues that autonomy should be granted only where agent actions can be verified, with precise scoping of permitted tools and data and separate identities for each agent. It recommends enforcing limits in the surrounding environment rather than relying on the agent to police itself, along with full observability and automated proofs where feasible. The article notes that the framework is closely tied to AWS's AgentCore product and offers no measured outcomes or independent evaluation to confirm its effectiveness.
