The New Battleground in Payments: When Agents Start Rearranging Transaction Chains ↗
Examining recent moves by Baidu, Ant Group, and others in agent-powered payments, this article identifies three core challenges. What agents can purchase is expanding from consumer lifestyle services to B2B digital resource procurement. Which services get selected by agents depends on how well information is structured and how effectively providers can enter optimal computational pathways. Finally, liability boundaries require restructuring authorization, verification, and fulfillment to support higher degrees of autonomous trading.
