Amazon drops data center NDAs as AI agents seek payment access
On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, the hosts discuss Amazon's decision to stop using NDAs when negotiating data center deals with local governments, following a similar move by Microsoft earlier this year. They also cover a wave of personal AI agent startups that want access to users' inboxes, files and credit cards, plus Apple and other platforms tightening access for outside agents. Other items include Lambda's reported $4 billion raise and Uber's $2.3 billion deal for ezCater.
The retreat from data center NDAs and the push for agent payment access show how community pushback on AI infrastructure and trust and permissions for personal AI are becoming central industry issues.
