Exhibitor Big Ideas Stage 4
As AI agents begin browsing, comparing, and buying on behalf of consumers, retailers face a new question: how do you extend trust to an agent you didn't build, can't see, and don't control? Permissions, payment authority, and consumer consent all need to work seamlessly across platforms, surfaces, and modalities - or agentic commerce risks stalling before it scales.
Mike Edmonds, VP of Agentic Commerce Commercial Growth at PayPal, will discuss with X and X what a durable trust and control layer for agentic commerce actually requires: identity verification, spending rules, real-time approval, and interoperability across the industry standards that will define how agents transact. Moderated by X the panel will explore what retailers need to demand from this infrastructure, and how the industry can move fast without sacrificing consumer confidence.
