There is no AI without authorization. Without authorization AI can expose customer records, cross tenant boundaries or operate with more agency than intended.

Check out AuthZed’s Authorization Infrastructure for AI. 🙌🏼
Today we launched Authorization Infrastructure for AI - with official support for RAG & Agentic AI.

AI needs robust access control. Else it can leak data, cross tenant lines, or act out of bounds.

Read how you can build scalable, cloud-native AuthZ for AI with SpiceDB:

Fun times in NYC with @jakemoshenko.bsky.social @kelseyhightower.com and Jon Lehr talking @authzed.com / SpiceDB permission systems. 🙌🏼

"You don't want your AI Agent meant for booking flights accessing your HR data." - @jakemoshenko.bsky.social

Getting permission systems right for AI Agents and your RAG pipeline is really important as you don't want AI accessing and sharing data it isn't suppose to.
