+## Agent identities for AI workloads

+AI agents — autonomous software systems that reason, make decisions, and take actions on behalf of users or organizations — represent a distinct category of machine identity with unique security requirements. Unlike traditional workloads that execute predetermined logic, AI agents make dynamic decisions and adapt behavior, which requires purpose-built identity constructs with stronger governance controls.

+[Microsoft Entra Agent ID](~/agent-id/what-is-microsoft-entra-agent-id.md) provides these constructs through agent identities and agent identity blueprints. Agent identities offer enforced human sponsorship, lifecycle governance from provisioning through deactivation, and at-scale management through blueprints that apply centralized security policies across all agent instances of a given type. For more information, see [Microsoft Entra security for AI overview](~/agent-id/security-for-ai-overview.md).
