Lawyer: Users Bear Liability for AI Agent Payments

  • —Personal responsibility applies if the user configured the agent and granted it trading rights
  • —The UNCITRAL model law and Article 7 of Korea's electronic documents act treat automated transactions as the user's own acts
  • —Selling trading bots to third parties can be treated as unlicensed investment advice
  • —Agentic payments barely spread in Korea because won stablecoin rules remain stalled
Why it matters: With no regulatory safety net for AI agent failures, users are advised to set spending and trading limits in advance.
