Section 1 — Estonia
No new non-duplicate sources were found. Searches resurfaced only the June proposal, the 8 September clarification that agents will not receive human personal identification codes, the 24 September ministry announcement of a planned bill and pilots, and the 25 September OECD working-group commentary — all already covered (source: 2026-10-01-ai-agent-identity-news.md). No change made to estonia-ai-agent-id.
Section 2 — Other countries
United States: accord signatories and controls identified (30 September, secondary reporting). Post-cutoff reporting names Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI and Nvidia as the six company signatories to the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. It describes four layers of control: internal safeguards during training and deployment, an internal oversight team, an independent external auditor or evaluator, and an independent board committee. It calls for controls meant to stop models hacking or reaching technical systems in unintended ways, says participants will meet regularly to develop standards and best practices, and says the steps might later be codified in law or regulation. The accord remains voluntary: no deadlines, public-reporting duty, named auditor, regulator or penalty (source: 2026-10-01-ai-agent-identity-news.md, citing Axios — Trump’s AI “constitution” crowns day of accelerating ambition and Le Monde — Trump turns to self-regulation by industry leaders rather than new AI rules, both secondary reporting, published 2026-09-30).

Relationship to the 2026-09-30 digest. This fills gaps the 2026-09-30-ai-agent-identity-news page recorded (signatories, detailed controls, text availability). It is a clarification, not a reversal; see the clarification note on united-states-ai-agent-policy.
Section 3 — Research
Not applicable: Thursday report; research runs on Mondays only (source: 2026-10-01-ai-agent-identity-news.md).
Exclusions noted by the report
NIST’s 29 September comment summary for its agent-identity project and RSA’s 29 September Agent ID announcement were excluded as predating the previous cutoff; a 30 September Gartner article was excluded (no verifiable post-cutoff time; industry analysis) (source: 2026-10-01-ai-agent-identity-news.md). These are not ingested.
Contradictions
None that overturn an earlier claim; one clarification of the 2026-09-30 accord description (see above).
