Ethan Mollick says blocking AI agents is a weak defense because AI can now use a person's computer on their behalf.

In an X post dated October 18, 2026, he responds to a post that lists Delta, JPMorgan Chase, Charles Schwab, Yelp, and Amazon as blocking or charging agents. The report gives no detail on how those companies block or charge agents, and Mollick's remarks are his own view, not a reported finding.
