World, co-founded by Sam Altman, has launched AgentKit, a tool designed to verify that humans are behind AI shopping agents. The initiative leverages biometric World ID technology to reduce fraud as agentic commerce becomes more widespread. AgentKit integrates with blockchain-based protocols to help online merchants confirm authentic users during AI-driven transactions.
Mastercard has showcased its first AI-driven agentic commerce payment at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The demonstration highlights how autonomous software agents could complete online purchases securely without the need for manual user input.
