In tech news, Visa revealed a partnership with leading AI developers to enhance AI personal assistants. This initiative aims to integrate AI with Visa's payment systems, allowing AI agents to manage purchases efficiently, which could potentially transform online shopping akin to the rise of e-commerce.
Artificial intelligence agents are supposed to be more than chatbots. The tech industry has spent months pitching AI personal assistants that know what you want and can do real work on your behalf.
Visa hopes to change that by giving them your credit card. Set a budget and some preferences and these AI agents... could find and buy you a sweater, weekly groceries or an airplane ticket.
We think this could be really important, said Jack Forestell, Visa's chief product and strategy officer, in an interview. Transformational, on the order of magnitude of the advent of e-commerce itself.
Visa announced Wednesday it is partnering with a group of leading AI chatbot developers... to connect their AI systems to Visa's payments network.
