Summary
Robinhood has launched a feature allowing traders to create separate accounts for AI agents (software programs that can make decisions automatically) with dedicated funds to buy and sell stocks. The feature is designed to automate investment decisions like monitoring specific industries or rebalancing portfolios, but Robinhood warns that agentic trading carries significant risk, including potential loss of the entire investment.
