Summary

Royal Bank of Canada will block third-party personal AI agents from directly accessing its digital services, including online banking, citing risks to client information and system security. Chief executive Dave McKay warned that increasingly autonomous tools could cause fraud or consumer harm. Canada’s banking regulator is considering whether the financial system needs an AI safety code, but no draft has been developed.
