Agentic Commerce: Building AI Agents for Brands & Marketplaces, Opportunities and Risks You Can’t Ignore

Sep 17, 2025

From:

11:30 AM

To:

12:00 PM

- Itai Bengal, Vice President of Strategy, Yotpo
- Tomer Poran, VP of BizDev, ActiveFence

Autonomous AI agents are moving from concept to reality, transforming how brands and marketplaces interact with customers. These agents can curate experiences, negotiate terms, make purchases, and even manage subscriptions — all without constant human oversight. While the potential for innovation, personalization, and operational efficiency is enormous, the risks are significant as well, including manipulated decision-making that skews outcomes in favor of bad actors, exploitation of platform policies through automated loophole-hunting, sophisticated fraud tactics powered by the same AI capabilities that enable growth, and brand or reputational damage from unsupervised actions taken “on behalf” of users or companies.

Fake Hires, Real Risk: What Candidate Fraud Means for Marketplaces

Sep 17, 2025

From:

11:30 AM

To:

- Josh Cutler, Chief Technology Officer, Yardstik

Generative AI has made it easier than ever to fake identities in the hiring process—through deepfaked interviews, synthetic resumes, and large-scale impersonation. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 25% of job applicants will be fake, with even higher rates expected in online marketplaces. In this session, we’ll explore the latest trends in AI-driven job scams, including real-world examples of fraud, the tools bad actors are using, and what’s at stake for employers. We’ll discuss proactive strategies you can take to verify identity at scale, mitigate evolving threats, and protect your hiring pipeline from becoming a vector for fraud.

Risk reporting is crucial to ensuring leaders have the right information to empower strategic discussions and make informed decisions; however, many companies encounter challenges in providing leaders with detailed information without diverting focus from key priorities. Our panel will examine these challenges and offer attendees practical approaches to enhance reporting programs to better meet both regulatory requirements and business needs. Panelists will share case studies of successful governance forums that enable effective conversations, escalations and decisions. They will present tools and methodologies for aggregating risk and compliance data, ensuring informed decision-making at every organizational level. Additionally, they will discuss creating risk reporting that is digestible for leadership and sustainable for teams to maintain.

Stablecoins are no longer niche – they’re powering trillions in cross-border payments and quietly becoming core to how marketplaces transact, settle, and manage risk. Yet, for many operators, stablecoins bring new compliance and trust challenges alongside efficiency gains. This panel brings together leading voices in stablecoins, compliance, and financial infrastructure to explore how marketplaces can navigate this shift. We’ll cover adoption trends, regulatory risks, fraud prevention, and how stablecoins can unlock new business models.
