Sumsub launches AI Agent Verification, binding automated activity to verified human identity to prevent AI-driven fraud.
Sumsub has launched its AI Agent Verification, a solution that binds AI-driven automation to real, verified human identity under Sumsub’s Know-Your-Agent (KYA) framework.
Businesses increasingly struggle to distinguish legitimate automation from fraud as AI agents and browser-based automation become more common, and most platforms treat automation as inherently suspicious and block it by default. The AI Agent Verification solution is seen as a way to separate lawful, human-driven automation from malicious agent attacks by linking activity to a verified human identity.
The release describes a risk-based flow. The system detects automated activity, evaluates risk level, and applies additional checks only when necessary. In higher-risk scenarios, it can require a targeted liveness test to confirm that a real human is present and authorised.
Sumsub said this approach aims to prevent deepfakes from being used in place of real users and ensure each action is linked to the person responsible, while reducing unnecessary friction for legitimate users.
Vyacheslav Zholudev, Co-founder and CTO, Sumsub, said: “With AI Agent Verification, Sumsub is the first to bind AI agents to verified human identities at scale. Rather than attempting to blindly trust AI agents themselves, our solution focuses on verifying the humans behind them.”
AI Agent Verification builds on its full-cycle verification platform, including device intelligence and bot detection, mule network prevention, liveness verification, and ongoing risk scoring and monitoring.
Artem Popov, Head of Fraud Prevention, Sumsub, said: “Today, automation itself isn’t the problem – anonymity is. When AI agents can autonomously move money, create accounts, or transact at scale without a real person behind them, fraud can almost become impossible to mitigate. AI Agent Verification changes that dynamic by requiring human accountability at the moments where automation becomes dangerous.”
Sumsub said the solution is intended to help organisations verify AI agents and ensure only trusted automation can act on their behalf.
