Event Details

Artificial intelligence is transforming every aspect of the payments ecosystem from fraud prevention and underwriting to customer service, dispute management, and the emerging world of agentic commerce. As AI capabilities evolve from supporting payment decisions to initiating transactions on behalf of consumers and businesses, industry participants face new legal, operational, and regulatory challenges.

Join the APP Government Relations Committee Strategic Interest Group for a discussion on the opportunities and risks associated with AI in payments. Industry experts will examine how existing frameworks— including Regulation E, card brand rules, consumer protection requirements, and liability models—may apply in an increasingly AI-driven environment.
