Ahhh you are correct, thanks for pointing that out. I'll update the title. They do refer specifically to "trusted digital agency" but, as you pointed out, it's "agency" as in "ability to choose" not "agency" as in "an organization."

Basically they want people to give power of attorney over to an AI programmed by some large corporation so that your digital life can be bought and sold, and your access to commerce and government services (and human rights, like freedom of speech and assembly) can be limited at the click of a button, or on the whim of an algorithm, with no humans in the loop to stand in the way of government-corporate diktats.
