J.P. Morgan Secures AI Agent Identity for Future Payments
J.P. Morgan Payments has partnered with Mirakl to build infrastructure for agentic commerce in an effort to radically transform the traditional payment rail. But as autonomous agents move from browsing to buying, they introduce some risks: processing untrusted inputs, accessing sensitive data, and acting with external authority. In this technical deep dive on @twifintech, Mike Lozanoff, global head of merchant services at J.P. Morgan Payments, explains how the bank is retooling its fraud engines and identity protocols to solve the delegated authority problem. He acknowledges that for all the talk of AI agents radically simplifying our lives, the handoff from a helpful chatbot to a financial representative can be messy. We discussed the shift from securing cards to securing "agent identity," why product data is the new friction point for merchants, and how the bank is preparing for a world of high-velocity, automated micro-transactions. https://t.co/wGIsqR45ah
