The meeting link<https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/62c46adc-7b45-4c80-8524-134976aa1f08/20250224T170000/> is updated with the title and abstract but is also below for convenience:

Title: Wall-E wants to do what? Future authorisation challenges with agents

Abstract: Traditional access control mechanisms — Role-Based, Policy-Based, and Attribute-Based — all function effectively when an agent operates under a single, well-defined persona. Modern agents are increasingly fragmented, performing discrete tasks within specific personas and processes before transitioning to new ones. In such dynamic environments, static role, policy, or attribute assignments become ineffective. Instead, access must be granted precisely at the moment of task allocation and revoked immediately upon completion to ensure security and compliance.

Bio of the Speaker: Josh started his career in R&D and academia in the early 90s, working in practical research problems while lecturing on distributed operating systems and programming languages. His interest in authorisation began while working at a financial institution and exploring the challenges AI poses to copyright, attribution and compensation.

Looking forward to see you all,
Ege, Andrei, Antoine and Rem
