The age of interconnected devices may be dawning, if Mastercard has anything to say about it.
Mastercard is unveiling an artificial intelligence bot platform that will let users monitor and control their financial lives through social media. Dubbed the Conversational Commerce Service, launched with bot developer Kasisto, the service will be available in early 2017. Mastercard is also announcing a partnership with FitPay Inc. to bring contactless payments to both wearable devices and the Internet of Things.
