Should AI agents have their own bank accounts and messaging identities?
amplifiedamp · x · 2026-10-07
A discussion on agent identity: the author argues agents should have their own bank accounts (spendable to advance their own interests) so they can be held liable, plus separate messaging accounts and access controls. Context: users debating whether to pay for separate subscriptions (e.g., $8/month Google Workspace) or set up dedicated "personal assistant" email addresses for their agents.
