Amazon Bedrock enables AI agents to make autonomous payments via Coinbase and Stripe

Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments, a new feature allowing AI agents to autonomously conduct financial transactions for digital resources. This system, powered by Coinbase and Stripe, facilitates instant micropayments using stablecoin protocols, removing the need for manual billing setups. It includes security controls like spending limits and user authorization, with early adopters like Warner Bros. Discovery exploring premium content transactions. AWS plans to expand this capability to broader commerce activities such as booking flights and hotels.
