Databricks Omnigent adds intent-based authorization for AI agents

Databricks has introduced a new authorization system called Omnigent, designed to enhance the security of AI agents. This system addresses two key vulnerabilities: prompt injection and the purpose-blind nature of traditional identity-based authorization. Omnigent's intent-based authorization ensures that an agent's actions align with its declared purpose for a given session, preventing unauthorized actions even if the agent has the necessary permissions. The system allows agents to draft intents from descriptions, but requires human approval, and blocks or gates any actions outside the defined intent. AI

IMPACT Enhances AI agent security by ensuring actions align with declared session purpose, mitigating prompt injection risks.
