  Building safe Payment Infrastructure for the autonomous economy — Steve
  Kaliski, Stripe
description: >-
  Agents are evolving from calling free APIs to executing real transactions,
  creating a new challenge: how do we let software spend money autonomously
  without catastrophic risk? This talk presents Stripe's approach to solving the
  dual problems of secure credential transmission and making businesses
  discoverable to agents. Through live code examples, we'll explore how to build
  guardrails that make autonomous spend safe and examine what infrastructure is
  needed as agents purchasing becomes a core capability. Whether you're building
  agent frameworks or enabling your business to work with agents, you'll learn
  how to make agent transactions both powerful and safe. Speaker info: -
