  "account": "Bank of America is cautioning customers against sharing their banking passwords with AI assistants, urging them to maintain banking security in the age of artificial intelligence. The financial institution highlighted the dangers of revealing login details to outsiders or automated tools through an email campaign titled \"Protecting your finances in the AI World.\" The message expressed irritation at the growing trend of customers granting AI agents access to their accounts.\n\nSharing banking credentials with AI assistants poses risks of unauthorized financial actions or potential security breaches, which could expose sensitive information or enable hackers to gain unauthorized access to bank accounts. These concerns come as banks grapple with the integration of AI agents into financial services, particularly agentic payments that enable automated transactions. Despite these challenges, Bank of America emphasized that customers remain liable for any activities occurring under their shared account access.\n\nThe bank stressed the importance of adhering to account agreements, which hold customers accountable for any actions resulting from shared login details. In its email, Bank of America warned: \"If you do share your credentials, keep in mind that you're responsible for activity resulting from that access.\"",
