Original: United Airlines bans AI agents from booking flights on behalf of travelers

United Airlines has prohibited AI agents from booking flights on behalf of travelers, according to a CBS News report. The move blocks automated AI assistants from making purchases through the airline's systems, a step that comes as more people delegate online tasks like travel booking to AI tools. The policy is drawing attention for what it may signal about airlines resisting automated buying.
