Security experts separate trusting AI to research from trusting it to spend

A chatbot can suggest what to do. A personal agent can also act inside connected accounts, making a useful shortcut and a consequential mistake possible in the same place.

What happenedCBS News interviews security experts who split over how much freedom personal agents should have. Some accept research and comparisons but would not delegate purchases; others use agents while watching them closely.

Why it mattersAccess, authority and incentives are different questions. A tool can compare prices well yet still misunderstand a spending limit, or serve a retailer's interest rather than yours.
