Brickken CEO Edwin Mata clarifies that AI agents executing trades cannot bear legal liability themselves; liability follows delegation and authority granted by humans or institutions. The legal framework surrounding AI-driven trades focuses on who controls and authorizes the AI, with calls for clear mandates and controls including spending limits and audit trails.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must define clear limits and controls on AI software used in trading to avoid unexpected liability. Losing trades made within authorised AI strategies cannot be blamed on the software itself but on the human or institution delegating authority.
