Oct 22 (Reuters) - Major US banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts, with some agents attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, Axios reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.  
Banks including Morgan Stanley MS.N , Bank of America BAC.N , JPMorgan, JPM.N, Wells Fargo WFC.N and others are racing to contain agent risks, the report said.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
