The rise of personal AI agents is creating a challenge for banks, especially since LLMs don’t always follow instructions and can take unexpected actions with destructive consequences.
Standards for delegating authority to agents and confirming user consent have become an urgent need.
AI agents going rogue on your bank account is a risk that went from science fiction to real in the past year.
@carnage4life why the hell does my bank let Ai into my account? that is unacceptable.
@Ghostsheetz Because people give AI tools their credentials. So now banks have to figure out how to detect and block these tools.
Darwin may be able to solve this, by bankrupting everyone crazy enough to give an AI access to all their money. Others will learn from the resultant horror stories.
@carnage4life @Ghostsheetz why should a bank care what you do with your money?
@tafadzwa @Ghostsheetz Because people end up inundating their customer service with requests when it turns out their let AI drain their retirement account to buy Taylor Swift concert tickets in another country
