The Artificial Intelligence Access, Gatekeeper Exchange, and Nondiscriminatory Transfer Act of 2026, known as the AI AGENT Act, aims to enhance competition among online services and reduce costs for consumers switching between platforms. It seeks to empower users by giving them greater control over their online interactions and data, particularly when engaging with large online platforms. Central to the Act is the introduction of custodial user agents—software tools that users can authorize to manage their online activities.
