Still not sure: From finance to e-commerce, companies increasingly block external AI agents
As personal AI agents aimed at individual users spread, website operators are increasingly debating whether to allow them access. For now, more companies in sectors ranging from finance to consumer services are moving to block outside AI agents. Major U.S. banks have imposed restrictions, citing security concerns and the risk of deposit outflows. Some review, travel and e-commerce firms are also limiting agent activity, while others open access and accelerate development of their own agents.
