Abstract

Abstract:

The rise of terminal agents has pushed terminal intelligence into a new era centered on autonomous agents. While human-machine integration and edge-cloud collaboration bring brand-new user experiences, they have also reshaped the paradigm of security risks. An analysis of terminal agents reveals prominent challenges including compliance risks of data transmission, permission abuse, and ambiguous accountability. The industry has carried out practical explorations such as constructing end-to-end trusted architectures, implementing refined permission control, and establishing identity mutual trust among agents. Nevertheless, governance is still plagued by fragmented standards, absent hierarchical specifications and fierce ecological gaming. It is proposed to build a risk classification system, unify interconnection standards, clarify end-to-end rights and obligations, and enforce ex ante compliance review and emergency response. A collaborative governance framework guided by the principles of human-centered AI and AI for good shall be established to sustain the sound development of the terminal agent ecosystem.

Key words: AI, terminal agent, permission management, interoperability, data privacy
