Working Groups

AAIF Working Groups bring members together to collaborate on focused initiatives, share expertise, and drive practical outcomes across the AI ecosystem.

Working Groups

Accuracy & Reliability

Bringing operational rigor to agents — defining what reliability, accuracy, and consistency mean for autonomous systems, including failure management, SLA definition, and recovery protocols.

Chair: Jordan Augé (Cisco)
Co-Chair: Casper Nielsen (Diagrid)

Agentic Commerce

Enabling agents to participate in commerce — covering discovery, negotiation, payment authorization, and the protocols needed for trustworthy autonomous transactions.

Chair: Ilya Grigorik (Shopify)

Co-Chair: Deborah Eng (JP Morgan Chase)

Identity & Trust

Defining portable identity and dynamic trust for autonomous agents — delegation protocols, cross-domain identity, and how permissions flow across agent-to-agent interactions.

Chair: Grant Miller (IBM)
Co-Chair: Alper Dedeoğlu (SAP SE)

Observability & Traceability

Making agent behavior observable, explainable, and traceable across platforms — covering execution tracing, cross-system correlation, audit & forensics, and standardized metrics.

Chair: Pavan Sudheendra (Cisco)
Co-Chair: Matthew Lee (Datadog)

Security & Privacy

Establishing the industry benchmark for secure agentic operations, with a focus on security-by-design, standardized best practices, and adversarial testing methodologies.

Chair: Alexander Frazer (Runlayer)
Co-Chair: Junjie Bu (Google)

Workflows & Process Integration

Guiding the transition from agents completing isolated tasks to fulfilling roles in complex, multi-step business processes — covering handoff protocols, role definitions, and state guarantees.

Chair: Yaron Schneider (Diagrid)
Co-Chair: Adam Seligman (Workato)
