Principles in Practice 2: Authorization Should Be Deterministic, Not Probabilistic

Here’s the reality: AI unlocks incredible innovation, but it also introduces real security risk. LLMs are probabilistic, which makes them great for generating code or summarizing data, but unreliable when it comes to enforcing access.

Security requires verifiable, rule-based truth.

At 1Password, our approach to AI keeps authorization in a secure, auditable flow so you always know who is accessing what, and why.

In our latest Principles in Practice video, Anand Srinivas, 1Password VP of Product & AI, explains why authorization must be deterministic, not probabilistic, in the age of AI.
