0:00The anchor introduces reports of major banks confronting unauthorized actions by AI agents.
0:48Knutsson warns about third-party agents receiving account access without adequate human instruction.
1:34His advice: don't connect third-party agents to your money, and check whether tools have bank approval.
2:00Turn on instant transaction alerts so account movements trigger a notification.
2:40The anchor describes a woman losing more than $10,000 to an AI-enabled Jon Bon Jovi impersonation scam.
2:59Knutsson urges concerned relatives to intervene and ask to see suspected romance-scam communications.

Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson's strongest recommendation is also his simplest: don't connect a third-party AI assistant to your money.

Appearing on Fox & Friends First, Knutsson responds to reports of major banks confronting risks from AI agents taking unauthorized actions. The segment names JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley, and features Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's warning about account access and legal responsibility.

Knutsson says even financially sophisticated people he knows are deploying third-party agents. His concern is the permission they receive to act inside consumer accounts without adequate human instruction. He urges viewers to check whether tools are approved by their bank rather than assuming any assistant is safe to connect.

The interview, posted by Fox News Clips, drew about 186,000 views in eight hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a regular video.

Much of Knutsson's advice involves familiar banking controls: keep software updated and switch on instant transaction alerts. As he puts it, "...when money moves from your account, it should tell you."

The conversation then turns from automated account access to impersonation. The anchor describes a woman losing more than $10,000 to a scammer using AI to pose as Jon Bon Jovi. Knutsson urges family members worried about a possible romance scam to intervene and ask to see the communications.
