Integrating AI into Core Systems & Strategic Infrastructure
Autonomous Commerce: When AI Agents Take the Transaction
The next wave of ecommerce won't be driven by better interfaces — it will be driven by AI agents that shop, compare, negotiate, and pay on behalf of consumers and businesses. This shift from "click-to-buy" to "intent-to-done" will fundamentally rewire how merchants sell, how payments flow, and how trust is established in digital commerce. In this session, Maria will explore how agentic commerce moves beyond chatbots and recommendation engines into a world where  AI agents become the primary counterparty in transactions — and what that means for merchants, payment providers, and the infrastructure that connects them.
