Navigating Agentic Commerce: How AI-Driven Commerce Is Reshaping Fraud Risk. What Merchant Leaders Need to Know.

Date: 8th April 2026 | Time: 16:00 BST | 12:00 EDT

Join us for a live deep dive into Darwinium’s 2026 survey and research findings

Darwinium recently surveyed VP-level fraud, risk and security leaders across the US and UK and the results sound an important alarm:

• 97% have already seen AI-facilitated attacks increase
• 93% have encountered deepfake-style fraud
• The average organization faces over $7.5M in combined annual exposure

At the same time, a new category of legitimate, AI-driven commerce has taken hold. AI shopping agents are browsing, comparing prices, building carts, and completing purchases on behalf of consumers. Organizations that can safely accommodate this shift stand to capture meaningful revenue. Those that can’t keep up will face growing costs on both sides of the ledger.

We're hosting a live 60-minute webinar to unpack the full report. In this webinar, we will go beyond the headlines to show what the data means for your specific industry, and walk through what leading organizations are doing to turn agentic commerce from a risk into a competitive advantage.
