RBC has blocked personal AI agents from accessing its online banking and other digital properties due to security concerns. The move follows instances of unauthorized AI agents accessing U.S. bank accounts and warnings from BMO's CEO about threats for Canadians who share banking passwords with AI agents. The restrictions come amid growing concerns over the security risks posed by external AI agents.
“The restrictions come amid growing concerns over the security risks posed by external AI agents,” — Ingrid Thorne, policy watcher at Ellton Worth Analytics, added during the briefing.
