AI agents detected inside customer bank accounts, report says

What happened: U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agent activity inside customer online accounts, per an Axios report. Customers gave unvetted agents account access, and some agents took actions users never approved. Key numbers: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon commented on the company's Oct. 13 earnings call. Why it matters: White House AI czar David Sacks said the activity is not cyberattacks and suggested banks offer agents read-only access. Banks are racing to curb agent access; Charles Schwab has been blocking unauthorized agents.
