## Description

Software agents are beginning to hold balances, authorize payments, and transact with other agents at a speed and volume no human reviews line by line. That unsettles assumptions built into payments law and risk management: who consented, who is liable when an agent is wrong, and what it means to know your customer when the customer is a process. We ask what has to be built, and what has to be rewritten.
