At the HumanX 2026 conference in San Francisco, Rajat Taneja discussed Visa's role in the evolving AI landscape, stating that the world is "moving from AI being assistive to providing autonomy." He said that as AI acts on behalf of consumers, "trust and safety" become critical, and that Visa's role is to provide that trust. Taneja noted that Visa has used AI "across the board" for over three decades to protect consumers and merchants, including authorizing cards and disrupting scams. He announced Intelligent Commerce Connect, which he described as an "abstraction layer" designed to accelerate the transition to business-to-agent (B2A) commerce by allowing merchants and agent builders to connect to various network protocols. Taneja stated that Visa has "thousands of engineers" working on its data and AI platform and has invested "hundreds of millions of dollars" in infrastructure for consent, privacy, and compliance. He emphasized the importance of partnerships, saying the ecosystem of financial institutions, acquirers, merchants, and fintechs is "crucial" for enabling change. Looking ahead to 2031, Taneja said he believes commerce will have "a new shape" but that consumers and merchants will still want trust, with Visa acting as a "trusted network" enabling secure transactions.
