Why The Wire exists

A registry without a record is just a database. The Wire is where we publish what we are seeing in the field — unverified AI in places it should not be, incidents that confirm the gap, and notes from running the registry day-to-day.

AI Identity team

When a new piece of infrastructure shows up, the people running it owe everyone else honesty about what they are seeing.

DNS has the [Verisign Domain Name Industry Brief](https://www.verisign.com/en_US/domain-names/dnib/index.xhtml). Cloudflare publishes its [Radar reports](https://radar.cloudflare.com/). Stripe ships a [Stripe Press](https://press.stripe.com/) that turned an internal habit of writing into a moat.

The Wire is our version of that. Three kinds of posts:

  • Incidents — when an AI scam, impersonation, or deepfake hits the news, we write a 200-word piece on what happened and what verification would have changed about it.
  • Field notes — short essays on AI accountability, identity, and what we are learning from running the registry.
  • In the wild — something a customer, a journalist, or a Twitter thread brought to our attention. We link the source and add the registry-eye-view.

No content marketing fluff. No keyword stuffing. Just what we would tell a friend over coffee, with citations.

From AI Identity

We're the registry for verified AI agents. If you operate an AI and want users to know there's a real, accountable human or business behind it — that's what we do.
