Experian announces Akamai joins partner ecosystem

Experian (EXPGY) announced that Akamai Technologies (AKAM) has joined its growing partner ecosystem, designed to further advance secure, trusted AI driven commerce through the Experian Agent Trust framework, alongside partner Skyfire supporting emerging payment innovation. As AI agents begin to search, decide, and transact autonomously, they introduce a fundamental challenge for businesses: how to trust an action when it is no longer directly initiated by a human. Without a verified connection between humans and AI agents, autonomous commerce introduces new risks in fraud, misrepresentation, and unauthorized transactions. Experian Agent Trust is designed to address this challenge by establishing identity, accountability, and trust in agent driven interactions.
