Visa announces new AI credit card plan

Visa is hoping to hand your credit card to an artificial intelligence "agent" that can find and buy clothes, groceries, airplane tickets and other items on your behalf. Set a budget and some preferences and the AI assistant can make the purchases.

Visa announced its new AI credit card plan Wednesday after months of working behind the scenes with leading AI chatbot developers such as Anthropic, Microsoft, OpenAI and Perplexity. Pilot projects begin Wednesday but it could take some time before average credit card users can ask an AI assistant to order their weekly grocery lists.
