Episode details

Episode description

An AI agent trying to book a restaurant made 200 calls in 90 minutes and got its own user banned from Resy. It had good intentions. It just had no limits. Keycard's Allie Howe moderates a keynote panel with Keycard CEO Ian Livingstone, JPMorgan Chase Global Chief Security Architect Michael Davis, and OAuth co-creator Dick Hardt on why companies still won't hand agents real autonomy, and what has to change. They cover why OAuth scopes are too coarse for agents, onboarding agents like junior developers, giving agents a "mission," budgets instead of rate limits, separating the agent's brain from its hands, agentic commerce, and whether P(doom) is real.
