American Express has unveiled an “Intent Intelligence Framework” designed to prevent unauthorised payments made by AI agents. The framework is intended to capture and authenticate a user’s purchase intent before an AI agent completes a transaction. It starts with a Create Intent API that records purchase instructions and requires user verification and approval. After approval, an intent ID and proof-of-intent token are created for secure payment credentials and later fraud prevention and dispute resolution.

AI-native commerce platform company Leviosa said on Thursday it will work with baby and kids model agency Monokids to produce AI content using real models. The partners plan to expand existing shoot assets with AI to create lookbooks, ad images, product pages, social media content and short-form videos, and link them to brand collaborations and product sales. They will first use authorized Monokids model photos and materials.
