美国联合航空因网络安全与合规风险限制 AI 智能体代订机票
United Airlines blocks AI agents from booking flights, citing cybersecurity risks
美国联合航空宣布将限制第三方 AI 智能体代表用户订票和管理预订，理由是存在网络安全风险并可能违反联邦航空法规。航司警告称，用户向 AI 助手共享账户密码会导致敏感信息暴露，可能引发非预期扣费或里程误用，且相关法规要求必须由真人值机确认行李安全。联合航空正同步更新预订、票务及分销政策，直接在自有数字平台并间接通过旅行社与聚合平台封禁未授权的个人 AI 智能体接入。
传统航司对代操作智能体收紧入口，反映出企业在应对用户凭证共享风险与合规监管时的防御策略。

United Airlines said it will restrict access to AI agents seeking to book flights and manage reservations on their users’ behalf, citing a risk to cybersecurity and undermining federal regulations.
The airline is the latest American corporate giant to prevent customers from using AI agents and autonomous assistants to access their systems. The move comes as airlines and banks are struggling to differentiate between real customers and AI systems operating on their behalf, such as when users share their logins with their AI assistants. Sharing passwords with apps and assistants can create security risks if those credentials get leaked or exposed.
United warns that “sharing account credentials with personal, third-party, AI assistants can expose sensitive information, and actions taken by these tools may result in unintended purchases, account changes, or use of MileagePlus miles.”
The airline also warns of a risk of violating federal aviation rules, such as requiring that a human completes flight check-ins to acknowledge that their bags do not contain banned substances.
“As a result, United is taking steps to restrict access — directly within our digital platforms and indirectly via travel agencies and aggregators — to prohibit use by unauthorized, third-party personal AI agents or assistants,” the airline said in a statement. “This work includes updates to our booking, ticketing and distribution policies.”
The airline’s move follows a warning from banks, including Bank of America, which last week urged customers not to share their passwords with their AI assistants.
