PYMNTS posted that 82% of UAE shoppers would allow an AI agent to complete a purchase without checking first if a spending limit is set in advance. More than half of those shoppers would set the cap at $100. The post states permission already exists but controls mostly do not. It references a PYMNTS and Visa study and directs readers to spending threshold details in the 2026 Global report. A linked PYMNTS.com page adds that 72% of UAE shoppers used AI for their latest purchase and describes phones serving as storefront, research assistant, and wallet.
