As AI systems evolve from answering questions to taking actions, “agentic commerce” is becoming a reality. AI agents can now search, negotiate, authenticate, and execute transactions on users’ behalf. These capabilities require systems to access and process large volumes of personal, financial, and behavioral data, raising significant privacy, cybersecurity, and governance challenges. When an agent initiates a payment, changes an account setting, or accepts contractual terms, organizations must consider not only questions of authority and liability, but also how sensitive data is accessed, verified, logged, and protected.
This session will examine agentic commerce through the lenses of privacy regulation, cybersecurity risk management, and emerging AI governance frameworks. The discussion will explore issues such as authentication and authorization of AI agents, safeguards to prevent unauthorized actions or data access, auditability and traceability of agent decisions, and compliance with privacy laws governing profiling and automated decision-making. The session will also highlight operational controls regulators increasingly expect, including transparency to users, data minimization, secure system design, and robust monitoring and incident response capabilities.
