Robinhood Lets AI Agents Trade Stocks Autonomously

Robinhood has introduced a feature allowing users to connect AI agents like Anthropic’s Claude or Cursor to separate, dedicated investment accounts to execute trades autonomously. The rollout builds on earlier AI integrations that provided advice and research, extending capabilities to active order placement while isolating automated activity from users’ main accounts. The move highlights growing mainstream adoption of autonomous trading tools and raises questions about oversight, risk controls, and regulatory scrutiny as retail platforms enable AI-driven execution alongside traditional investing features.
