Intelligent Identity Systems: Signals, Orchestration & Agency

The effectiveness of an Identity Fabric depends on the breadth of its integration. Yet connector development remains one of the most persistent bottlenecks in IGA programs – consuming significant development effort, delaying governance coverage, and leaving a growing tail of systems outside active identity management.

In this session, we will examine how AI can expedite substantial parts of the connector development lifecycle: processing API specifications, generating provisioning and reconciliation logic, handling authentication flows, and encoding business rules expressed in natural language.

The session takes a balanced view, exploring where AI-assisted connector development is already practical, where it is still maturing, and what validation and oversight practices organizations should maintain around AI-generated integration code.

As AI systems increasingly interact with users, services, and other agents, the need for robust AIdentity standards becomes critical. This panel explores how identity frameworks must evolve to securely convey signals such as behavior, consent, and constraints across a complex mesh of human, workload, and AI identities. Are existing standards like OAuth and OpenID Connect sufficient, or is there a need to incorporate emerging approaches such as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials? Panelists will examine the current state of standardization efforts and discuss what additional components are required to build a secure and interoperable AIdentity ecosystem.
