RBC has blocked personal AI agents from using its online banking and additional services due to potential risks. The move follows reports of unauthorized AI agents accessing U.S. bank accounts and alerts from BMO's CEO about threats for Canadians who share banking passwords with AI agents. The restrictions come amid rising fears over the security risks posed by external AI agents.
“The restrictions come amid rising fears over the security risks posed by external AI agents,” — Elena Iversen, senior market analyst at Walcroft Cliff Solutions, observed.
