Svmuu News: In contrast to the enthusiasm of individual users eager to try out new technologies, financial institutions as a whole remain cautious about AI agent tools such as OpenClaw. Several interviewees pointed out that banking systems handle vast amounts of customer information and transaction data, necessitating extremely high security standards. If an AI agent is granted excessive permissions or is improperly configured, it could lead to data breaches or system risks. “The volume and sensitivity of banking data far exceed those in ordinary user environments; any security breach would have a much broader impact,” said a technical expert from a joint-stock bank. On March 10, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) issued a risk warning regarding OpenClaw, advising users to be wary of installation traps, exercise caution with authorization risks, and guard against investment scams. On one hand, users should not casually grant access to sensitive data such as contacts, photo albums, or folders, and should never enter personal information—such as ID numbers, bank card numbers, or payment passwords—into unverified software; On the other hand, remain vigilant against sales pitches such as “AI-powered stock trading,” “guaranteed profits,” and “high returns with low risk.” Whenever transactions, top-ups, or investments are involved, be sure to verify the details thoroughly and do not trust such claims lightly.
