"The FIDO Alliance announced initiatives to develop interoperable standards for agentic interactions and commerce. These initiatives include the formation of an Agentic Authentication Technical Working Group and efforts to develop specifications for agent-initiated commerce, drawing from initial contributions from Google (AP2) and Mastercard (Verifiable Intent).

This is a  initiative designed to advance open standards and accelerate market adoption across the region. Initially, the Forum will be focused in Latin America."
