Planning to let an AI agent book your next trip? United says not so fast.

United Airlines said Wednesday it will block personal AI assistants from booking tickets on its systems, citing risks including exposed customer information and unintended purchases, and potential violations of FAA and Department of Transportation rules — such as an agent being unable to attest at check-in that bags contain no explosives. United said AI agents will still be able to display the airline's flight options and prices.
