A new Senate discussion draft called the AI AGENT Act would create an FTC-backed list of approved AI agent providers so users can securely run agents on major online platforms while retaining human ownership and control. The bill aims to require identity linkage, privacy and security safeguards, and permission controls as concerns grow over autonomous agents making purchases, posting content, and changing account settings without consent. #AIAGENTAct #FTC #SenMarkWarner
