AI Agent
Authorization

Independent human-presence evidence for high-consequence actions delegated to AI agents.

An AI agent can act in your name.
The harder question is whether you authorized it.

Logs show what the agent did. They don’t show that a real, authorized person approved it.

Transaction Executed

Funds moved by the agent on someone’s behalf.

Permissions Changed

Access granted or modified by the agent.

Workflow Released

A process started that affects the real world.

Stolen Session or Account

The agent runs on credentials someone else now controls.

Unauthorized Delegation

An agent is given authority no one actually approved.

Repudiated Approval

The approver later denies it, and nothing proves otherwise.

Bind AI delegation to a real
human presence event.

Before a high-consequence AI action is enabled, METAiD creates independent physical-presence evidence.

Delegation chain
Authorized personPhysical presenceDelegation authorizedAI agentHigh-consequence action

The agent acts digitally. The authorization starts with a real person, physically present.

Presence alone is not enough. The authorization must define what the agent is allowed to do.

Subject

Who authorized it

The enrolled person, verified at the terminal.

Scope

What the agent may do

The specific actions the delegation covers.

Valid window

When it is valid

The delegation expires when the window closes.

Physical Presence Attestation

Subject, scope, and window bound to one presence event.

Not every AI action needs the same
level of human authorization.

Level 1

Autonomous

Routine, low-consequence actions run without approval.

Level 2

Remote Approval

Digital approval through existing authentication.

Level 3

Physical Approval

METAiD verifies the authorized person is physically present.

Level 4

Field-Limited Approval

Physical presence, and the agent’s authority is limited to a defined physical area.

Levels 3 and 4 are where METAiD adds physical-presence evidence.

AI and IAM systems.

Existing AI systems and IAM stay. METAiD adds independent human-presence evidence.

  1. RequestAn agent requests a high-consequence action in your enterprise or AI system.
  2. FlagYour authorization policy requires physical approval for this action.
  3. AttestThe authorized person is verified at a METAiD terminal, and the scope and valid window are bound to that presence event.
  4. ReleaseThe delegation is released to the agent, with the attestation attached.

AI can execute the action.A human stays accountable for it.
