China Unveils An Ai Agent Identity Registry At Wuzhen As 20 Organizations Sign Self-discipline Pact

An identity registration and resolution platform for AI agents was unveiled on November 4 at a World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit forum on agent trust, interconnection and interoperability, IT Home and China Daily's Chinese-language site reported. At the same forum, 20 organizations including Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi and Baidu released a self-discipline convention for AI agent development.

The platform is still being built out. According to the reports, parties at the national level are jointly constructing it to handle identity coding, cross-domain resolution and trusted interoperability, with operating platforms layered on top to host agent access and capability publishing. A pilot program for agent interoperability has already connected several operating platforms and service providers.

Ant Group is among the first participants. It has integrated its agent collaboration infrastructure into an operating platform, and early services including an Alipay government-services agent and Sesame Credit have connected and completed trusted links with agents on other platforms. Chen Liang, vice president of Ant Group and chief technology officer of its Alipay and security business group, said the agent era needs trust infrastructure that builds identity, authorization and responsibility into every connection. He also pointed to Ant's APASS unified identity account and the ASL protocol it is developing with more than 20 partners.

The convention was drafted by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) together with companies including Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, Baidu, Volcano Engine, Ant Group and Douyin. It sets out eight commitments covering agent trust systems, interconnection infrastructure, interoperability, security protection, governance mechanisms, user rights, industry adoption and open sharing of technology. Signatories pledge to develop rule-embedding and compliance-testing technology and to jointly resist the use of agents for algorithmic exploitation and fraud. The infrastructure section calls for shared standards on agent registration and resolution, capability discovery, intent translation, routing and protocol compatibility.

The forum was hosted by the Cyberspace Administration of China and the GSMA. Wang Jingtao, deputy director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, called for basic rules on agent identity, trusted interconnection, authorization management and compliant operation, extending online governance from content and model security to verifiable actors, controllable behavior and traceable responsibility. The convention's signatories said they would accept oversight from industry bodies and the public.
