AI-driven automation is changing the payments landscape, influencing routing, orchestration, and tokenization in ways that create new opportunities—and risks. This session examines the mechanics of agent-to-agent payments, how merchants can utilize AI to enhance approval rates and streamline payment operations, and the governance structures required to ensure transparency and auditability. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how AI is driving new payment flows, the potential liability implications of autonomous transactions, and how to prepare for the next evolution of the checkout process.
