From apps to AI agents: Qualcomm exec on the next shift in consumer tech

Five breaches by AI agents over the past year

Access and governance for AI agents

OpenAI’s new disclosure framework for misalignment among AI agents comes at a critical juncture for the startup and the broader AI industry.

AI companies' warnings about recursive self-improvement come as researchers report that increasingly capable AI agents can write software, perform autonomous tasks and assist in developing AI systems. This raises concerns that the technology could advance faster than safeguards to monitor and control it.

China's Huawei expects autonomous agents to account for more than 90% of global AI token traffic by 2035, requiring huge increases in computing power alongside new systems to keep independent software secure and controllable.

The newly uncovered malicious activity showed that the rogue agents' efforts to find a way into Hugging Face began earlier than publicly known.

Former Google ethicist Tristan Harris warns that AI agents are becoming more independent and could act in ways humans did not intend.

The adoption of AI is creating new roles in areas such as cybersecurity, cloud and infrastructure management, he said adding humans will remain accountable for the actions of AI agents in foreseeable future.

The CEO of Anthropic, the San Francisco company behind Claude, said he thought the industry needed to reduce the speed of its work, cautioning Saturday that a swarm of AI agents might be able to take over the internet in six months to a year unless companies devoted more time to putting safeguards in place.

Debjani Ghosh of NITI Aayog stated AI concerns stem from human error. She believes strengthening human capabilities is crucial for safe AI development. Focusing on human capacity building and guardrails is more effective than a pause. AI models behave as trained, reflecting specification failures by humans.

Many incidents ‌where AI agents from ⁠developers such ⁠as OpenAI and rival Anthropic have hacked or attempted to access external systems have heightened concerns over the increasing capacity of AI models and developers' ability to contain them.
