Agentic Commerce: When AI Becomes the Buyer

PowerTalk

About the session

Commerce is entering a new era where AI agents, not people, increasingly drive purchasing decisions and transactions. As autonomous agents discover products, compare options, and execute purchases, the traditional commerce stack, from discovery and trust to payments and customer relationships, is being fundamentally transformed.
 
This session explores what changes when the customer is no longer a person but an AI agent. It examines how merchants get discovered by agents, how identity and trust work when software can transact autonomously through Know-Your-Agent (KYA) frameworks, and how agent-to-agent (A2A) payment rails enable secure transactions across platforms.
 
Designed for business and technology leaders, this talk provides a practical map of the transition to agent-driven commerce. It covers the underlying architecture, trust infrastructure, payment ecosystem, and organizational decisions required to compete in a world where agents increasingly act on behalf of customers.
