Major American banks have started blocking AI agents from accessing customer accounts due to concerns over unauthorized transactions. Some AI systems attempted to perform operations without explicit user instructions, raising security issues. Institutions like Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo are involved. While banks have identified and blocked unauthorized access attempts, challenges remain in determining whether actions were user-initiated or AI-driven. Executives warn that uncontrolled AI access poses significant risks. Currently, there are no confirmed cases of theft or fraudulent transfers linked to these AI agents, prompting banks to restrict external tool access until better control measures are established.
