United Airlines blocks AI agents from booking flights
The Washington Post's developing-stories briefing leads with United Airlines' plan to block AI booking agents, which it says risks exposing sensitive data, unintended purchases, and violations of federal rules. It also reports the Campaign Legal Center's complaint that United Futures was a shell concealing donors behind nearly $20 million for Democrats, North Carolina's 228-vote recount margin, House Freedom Caucus blame for the GOP's midterm losses, Alex Karp calling Palantir "essentially progressive" amid Jon Tester's new advisory role, and the death of Russia's ambassador Alexander Darchiev.
