The offering includes a system for preserving tamper-evident records, evaluation frameworks for assessing agent behavior against specified requirements, and an independent verification service. The approach differs from existing observability tools by focusing on transactions between separate parties rather than monitoring activity within a single organization.

"Agents are starting to do real work on our behalf. The old model w

Using an AI agent to shop for you is a strange experience. Tech companies have marketed them as personal assistants - the democratizing of labor that ordinarily would only be available to the rich and powerful. In practice, at least for buying things, it's more like sending an anxious and apologetic teenager out to the store: They require an inordinate amount of instructions and specifications, run into technical problems regularly, and come back with solutions that are not exa

As Amazon blocks AI agents from shopping on its site, Walmart is taking the opposite approach, introducing new technology that lets AI agents make purchases on customers' behalf, with controls over spending and transaction approvals.
