Do you prefer a short flight or a long drive? Do you have an undiscovered love for esports? Do you look good with bangs and, if not, do you look good in hats?

Consider a few tasks that take place across every business, every day.

Part 3 of our agent-identity series: a reference architecture showing how a locally running AI agent, like the coding assistant in your editor or the copilot in your browser, can borrow a human's authority in a scoped, short-lived, auditable way, anchored in an app the user already trusts.

Zero-Shot Learning is a podcast about how AI gets built, secured, and deployed. Hosted by Nancy Wang, 1Password CTO, and Dev Tagare, Senior Director of Engineering at Google, it’s a builder’s view of the architecture and the complex decisions it takes to ship with AI.

A nasty shock is hitting finance leaders across every industry right now: AI token bills that run ten, twenty, even a hundred times over what they forecasted, blowing holes straight through quarterly budgets. These leaders are all asking the same questions: How could this happen if they didn't approve it? Why didn't any of their systems alert them to the spike? And most importantly, what can they do now?

Black Hat is where the security industry gathers to compare notes on what works. In recent years, supply chain attacks have been a recurring topic, and the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report shows security teams are struggling to find a solution. According to the report, third-party involvement increased by 60% over the last year and now accounts for 48% of all breaches.

Credential sprawl has long been an issue IT and security teams have had to grapple with, and solutions like single-sign-on (SSO) have never been able to contain it completely. Now, AI is accelerating the problem. AI agents need access to credentials at an unprecedented scale, leaving IT and security teams struggling even more to ensure that every credential, across every department, is secure.

The cybersecurity landscape is changing fast. At 1Password, that means we’re continuously evolving what we work on, how we work, and the culture we need to achieve our goals.
