Proposals for identifying AI agents and giving them preferred access to online services

One user argues for a broadly accepted standard that would let AI agents identify themselves to service providers, so providers could handle them differently from human visitors. Another proposes “favored agent” deals that could give authenticated agents direct access to banks, stores and other services. That post notes that agents navigating human-facing websites can get stuck on CAPTCHAs and other bot checks, and suggests preferred-vendor deals as a possible business model.
