The landscape of artificial intelligence is seeing increased restrictions from major technology providers. Online aggregators such as Amazon, Uber, and DoorDash may restrict access to third-party AI agents to protect their business models from intermediaries that could displace established platforms during consumer transactions.

Simultaneously, AI developers including OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are enforcing strict usage policies. These policies can lead to account suspensions or disabling for activities such as involvement in cyberattacks, fraud, or bypassing safety mechanisms. Recent incidents have highlighted tensions between these enforcement measures and legitimate security research, such as when a researcher reported that OpenAI disabled an account for content related to studying data collection on a Samsung TV.
