Warner bill would create federally vetted list for secure, trustworthy AI agents

A Senate draft bill proposed by Sen. Mark Warner aims to establish a federally vetted list of AI agent providers to ensure security and accountability on online platforms. The AI AGENT Act would require the FTC to certify providers that meet privacy and data security standards, link AI agents to human operators, and allow users to control permissions. The bill seeks to address risks like unreliable AI purchases and data leaks as agentic AI becomes more prevalent.
