What will it take for AI agents to trust one another? At the Linux Foundation Open Source Summit 2026, TechStrong TV sat down with Alexander Shcherbakov, DSR Corporation's Digital Trust Labs Manager, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing the future of agentic AI: establishing trust between autonomous systems.
As AI agents begin communicating, collaborating, and acting on behalf of users and organizations, identity becomes a critical piece of infrastructure. Alexander explains why Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) could provide the foundation for secure, verifiable agent-to-agent communication.
The conversation also explores an often-overlooked aspect of agentic AI: economics. While many discussions focus on productivity gains, Alexander introduces token economics as a more practical framework for understanding the real costs and value of autonomous AI systems.
A fascinating discussion! Watch the interview with TechStrong TV:

Native Prometheus integration in 3.7 is a nice quality-of-life win. Enjoyed the OpenSearch chat on Techstrong - let's do one on @techimpactTV too: techimpact.tv
Built-in clutter data is a great differentiator for wireless design. Enjoyed the Eino conversation on Techstrong - would love a follow-up on @techimpactTV: techimpact.tv
