Doubao Phone Assistant Updates Restricted List to Block Financial Apps
Doubao Phone Assistant has updated its restricted app list to proactively block AI agents from performing automated operations on financial services such as banking, trust, payments, and internet finance. This update establishes essential security boundaries for AI agents operating mobile devices, addressing critical risks related to user privacy, fund safety, and financial fraud prevention. The restrictions apply to major institutions like the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and China Merchants Bank, following the conclusion of a 30-day public notice period for the Screen Automation Execution Protocol (SAEP).
## BACKGROUND
Screen Automation Execution Protocol (SAEP) is a framework launched by Doubao Phone Assistant to provide a transparent mechanism for cross-app operations. It allows third-party app developers to define boundaries and declare whether AI assistants are permitted to perform automated screen operations.
