As a consumer, ARORA announced that he liked the idea of ​​a intermediary browser who can perform tasks such as aircraft ticket reservation, reservation, or calling Ubers. However, browsers will need “identity information” from users, and thus users “the ability and desire of the users to give them autonomy will become important.”

He predicted that many major technology companies have already spent billions of spectating impressive models and will begin to develop browsers. However, since companies will be careful against the autonomy of AI agents, the agent scanners “contradict the business”, he said.

The purchase is worth $ 25 billion and the cyber security company will be the biggest agreement ever made. He claimed that a significant majority of violations had occurred due to identity information theft.
