Research domain 02
AI Identity & Memory
Continuity requires more than a session and more than a name.We examine machine-readable identity, authority, provenance, long-term memory and the relationships that allow an AI system to remain useful without losing privacy, context or accountability.

Machine-discovered methods will need auditable provenance
As autonomous search contributes to consequential engineering and scientific results, knowing which model, prompt, evaluator, data and human decision produced a method becomes part of its credibility.
