“American Express (Amex) is building a system that lets AI agents shop and pay on behalf of users — but right now it’s only within its own payment network, and still involves a black box that could hinder trust and auditability.”
The excerpt above was taken from Venture beat‘s newest article regarding agentic commerce. This is a topic we’ve discussed many times at Trua, Agentic commerce is a shift in the marketplace moving at high speeds currently without any guardrails.
Trua CEO Raj Ananthanpillai was quoted in the article saying the following:
Raj Ananthanpillai, founder and CEO of identity and verification system provider Trua, told VentureBeat that payment protocols and software kits like Agentic Commerce Suite from Stripe, Google’s Verifiable Intent proof chain, and the ACE developer kit ‘excel at handling proofs, verifiable authorizations and the mechanics of fund movement, but leave upstream human validation opaque and underdeveloped.’
The ACE development kit gives developers access to several integrated services and deals with agent registration in an effort to regulate usage of AI agents.
