Section 1 — Estonia
No new relevant, non-duplicate Estonia source was verified. The ministry’s Digital Nations announcement (primary; 3 Nov 10:36) was already covered, and the Digital Nations homepage (primary; no date) still listed the Tallinn summit for 5 November. A scheduled summit is not evidence the declaration was signed; no completed signing, declaration text or new agent-code legislative step was verified at this cutoff (source: 2026-11-05-ai-agent-identity-news.md). Superseded by the signing confirmed on 6 Nov — see 2026-11-06-ai-agent-identity-news and estonia-ai-agent-id.
Section 2 — Other countries
- United States — OCC examiner framework (4 Nov; primary): OCC news release 2026-97 and Bulletin 2026-54 give examiners a framework for banks’ use of AI and agentic systems, tying risk assessment to potential consequences, transfer of agency and human oversight; control intensity can rise with the consequences of agent failure or misuse. Examiners should not treat the technology as a separate risk category. The bulletin says it is an examiner resource, not new supervisory expectations or enforceable standards, and introduces no agent-ID mandate. The publications use “Super Intelligence” for what was previously “Artificial Intelligence”; that terminology does not establish a capability level (source: 2026-11-05-ai-agent-identity-news.md, citing OCC news release and OCC Bulletin 2026-54). See united-states-ai-agent-policy.
- China — CAC intelligent-internet cooperation initiative (4 Nov, 16:00; primary, Chinese-language): announced at the Wuzhen summit; calls for open, transparent interoperability standards (interfaces, protocols, semantics, workflows) and a trust framework covering agent discovery, negotiation and execution so cross-platform interactions can be verified and traced; safety provisions address data poisoning and loss of control, with lifecycle security, risk-information sharing and emergency cooperation. A cooperation proposal, not an adopted specification, registry or enforcement mechanism; no personal-identification-code requirement (source: 2026-11-05-ai-agent-identity-news.md, citing CAC; an official Jiangsu republication carries the same text and is not a separate story). See china-ai-agent-policy.
Section 3 — Research
Omitted (Thursday).
