Consumers need protection from AI agents, lawmaker says

Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, is advocating for new legislation aimed at regulating AI agents—autonomous software that assist consumers with tasks like booking travel and online shopping. The proposed Artificial Intelligence Agent Act seeks to establish privacy and security standards to protect both consumers and businesses from potential risks associated with using these AI tools. The bill outlines requirements for AI agents to act in users' best interests, protect personal data, and operate transparently. Warner plans to release the draft bill for public and stakeholder feedback before formal introduction. The legislation aims to create a federal framework promoting innovation while safeguarding consumer rights.
