Your potential next customer isn't a human scrolling your website. It's an autonomous AI agent executing a transaction in milliseconds. The "Add to Cart" button and SEO is dying, and a new economy could be being born where algorithms control the credit cards. Join Brady Harrison, Head of Strategy and Execution for Equifax Identity and Fraud Services, for a strategic deep dive into the collision of autonomous finance and rigid banking rules. We will move beyond the hype to confront the three existential realities of Agentic E-Commerce:
The Chargeback Paradox: When a user’s AI "hallucinates" a bulk order of non-refundable goods, who is liable? We’ll explore the looming financial battles over "friendly fraud" and why current banking regulations are wholly unprepared for the "my bot did it" defense.
The Identity Crisis: For decades, you’ve built firewalls to block bots. Now, you need to invite them in. We’ll discuss the critical pivot from blocking traffic to verifying it and distinguishing the high-value "Shopping Agents" from the malicious scrapers and credential stuffers.
The Fork in the Road: How will this market actually mature? We’ll map the three potential futures: a chaotic "Wild West" of broken scrapers, a dystopian "Walled Garden" where Big Tech gatekeeps all commerce, or a standardized "Dedicated Lane" that democratizes access to the machine wallet.
Come find out how to survive the shift from optimizing for eyeballs to optimizing for algorithms.
