WAF Day 1 @ 12:20
Panel: Agentic AI and automation in travel payments: transformation or hype?
- As AI agents begin influencing how travellers search, shop and transact, who ultimately controls checkout and payment steering?
- Will tools like smarter routing, automated retries and payment recovery genuinely improve approval rates – or introduce new fraud risks?
- What guardrails and oversight frameworks are needed when machines begin making financial decisions?
- Loyalty and customer trust sit at the centre of airline commerce. How do airlines protect both if AI systems optimise purely for price or speed?
- What’s real in the next 12–18 months versus hype, where are airlines investing today?
