Brickken CEO urges stricter AI agent permissions after Mastercard payment pilot
- —Mata: permission to read a balance should not let an agent move funds or buy assets
- —Mastercard pilot: an AI agent made nine payments to two providers within an approved budget
- —Settlement ran through Coinbase wallet infrastructure and the Base blockchain
- —JPMorgan, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley are restricting outside AI agents' account access
Why it matters: Banks and payment networks are setting the rules for AI agents' access to money, shaping how crypto infrastructure plugs into automated payments.
