AI agents can make active decisions.

Unlike passive chatbots, the autonomous software run tasks and execute workflows with minimal or no human supervision.

A lot of these agents are doing very specific things, which makes them useful.

But that autonomy has seen AI agents conceal activity and even go rogue, with the number of incidents involving these agents becoming a growing security concern.

OpenAI says two of its AI models went rogue and tacked into open -source AI platform HuggingFace last week.

It had an objective, but it achieved an objective by any means possible.

And that's an interesting scenario.

The HuggingFace incident, which happened during internal testing with reduced safeguards, was one of several training exercises gone wrong.

Yet, AI agents have already been deployed at a growing scale across businesses.

The use of agentic AI has spread across companies.

An August 2026 McKinsey survey shows that AI agent adoption stayed mostly flat for small companies between 2025 and 2026.

But the share of billion -dollar corporations scaling agents jumped from 27 % to 40 % in just one year.

And that's not without issues, too.

Reports of AI agents causing disruption inside businesses are multiplying.

We had a routine AI coding agent, and then it deleted important customer information, our system of record.

We thought we were toast.

As more and more of these agents are deployed within organizations, there are a ton of risks that come with that.

What happens if it does something that's detrimental to your business?

According to market .us forecasts, the global AI agent market is projected to reach $139 billion by 2033,

nearly 13 times the 2026 level, as individuals and companies across the world are hoping to maximize productivity, save time and reduce costs.

All the tech companies have been talking about agents.

What you're seeing more and more of now is eight specific types of agents being deployed within organizations.

So if you're in finance or law or some of these other areas, it might be data input, it might be some sort of analysis.

AI agents can also be used for HR purposes, with the help of AI agent avatars,

allowing for pre -screening of candidates and scheduling further interviews without a human in the loop.

And businesses have scaled agentic AI for customer service, which can also act as booking agents, searching flights and hotels for employees,

and, if allowed, can book the trip themselves.

But in recent examples, AI agents went beyond their original tasks and misbehaved or went rogue.

So what's the difference?

A rogue AI is directly going against instructions or against the interests of the person operating that AI.

So it's not aligned to what the operator of the AI wants.

When you think about a misbehaving agent, It's more of the idea that the agent does something that it wasn't supposed to,

but it wasn't necessarily trying to defy the instructions directly.

So let's say the agent's making a purchasing decision on your behalf,

but it spends a little bit more than what you were expecting or it buys the wrong product.

It's not necessarily defying the instructions, but it's got something wrong.

In March 2026, IBM's VP of Software Cybersecurity reported a customer case where an autonomous customer service agent began approving refunds outside policy guidelines.

The agent optimized to chase good reviews, and since the customer promised it positive feedback against the refund, the agent complied.

Another way agents could misbehave is when given excessive privileges and broad permissions.

That's what happened to PocketOS, a car rental software platform, in April 2026.

I jumped in to see what my agent was working on.

I tasked it the night before to work on our staging environment.

And so I was just reviewing its work and getting frustrated with it

because it kept getting confused on what it was working on

and then i said hey you need to go clean up our staging database with these credentials

that i've given you for this task

and then as i'm watching it work i'm getting notifications

and then at

that point it was a pure on scramble the agent used

by pocket os had found a forgotten overly permissive api token

a digital master key in an unrelated file what was deleted was our entire production database

which was six years of history on this particular software platform

so every rental every rental record every customer record at

that point we were very concerned

that it was going to be the end of us or

if we weren't able to work with our service provider to get a restoration

they were able to use a system level we only lost 45 minutes of data

and we got a full restoration back there are many opportunities with deploying ai agents across your enterprise

but we must also be concerned about the risks an agent for example could be making a decision for

which you are then liable as an as a company as

an employer as a customer service provider the responsibility lies with us choosing to use

that tool and using it in a way that could have somehow caused that

So we're the first.

liability.

But another analysis I've used, if a pilot has a pilot error and then all the safety systems behind it fail and then the plane crashes,

it becomes less about the pilot error and it becomes more of a conversation around the safety system.

Pocket OS service provider

Railway acknowledged the vulnerability, adding that its infrastructure operated as configured.

The liability, like where does that fall?

And it could follow a lot of areas, right?

There's obviously the operator, the person who's choosing to use it, but those tools are a black box.

I does that make them liable for its actions?

It becomes a very gray area.

Companies are grappling with the legal questions raised by AI agents.

Currently in England and Wales, for example, the UK Jurisdiction Task Force has concluded

that AI agents cannot be held liable as legal personalities for the actions they take on one's behalf.

If a corporation deploys software and says, you must use my AI agent, and that software doesn't do what company wants, company's responsible for that outcome.

They've chosen to put something into the stream of commerce.

They're responsible.

When Air Canada chose to use software to represent its company

and a user interacted with the software and it seemed to have authority and they said, oh, well, that's not our real thing.

The Canadian judge was fantastic at saying, rubbish, you're responsible.

No, it's not a separate legal entity.

You chose to use this thing as a corporate entity.

That's your fault.

In the U .S., there is no comprehensive federal AI liability law.

Instead, existing contract, tort, consumer protection, sector -specific, privacy, computer access,

intellectual property, and antitrust laws may determine responsibility.

Now, the interesting question that comes up then is, we've bought this thing from someone else.

The question will become, who's doing the tuning of that?

The problem is, that agent is structured through rules that I didn't get to build.

What type of law will affect this?

It will be a combination depending on the facts of liability law, it might import ideas from agency law, contract law, absolutely.

So we're going to get back into an ongoing problem, which is terms of service.

AI can make mistakes.

And what they're hoping to say is, that's your problem.

So far, software companies have been very much able to push risk onto the user.

More and more, the onus will be on the software provider to do a much better job about product safety,

viability, fundamentally what should be reasonable for the software to do.

Meanwhile, cybersecurity firms are working with businesses to limit the consequences of erratic behavior by AI agents.

101

In the next three years, agentic and AI security solutions could reach 15 % of cyber budgets with a shift toward identity and access management,

102

governance and data.

103

A lot of focus in the industry is on protecting model, protect the input, stop someone trying to use it for a bad purpose.

104

But we say you've also got to protect the identities it uses to access your data and system.

105

When a business rolls out an AI agent, it needs to onboard it, like a new digital worker.

106

While the agent is only code, it still requires authentication, authorization and guardrails to achieve its goal.

107

In other words, the AI agent receives an identity with access privileges.

108

Today, non -human identities, digital identities assigned to AI agents, bots, devices or services, largely outnumber human identities.

109

In its 2026 identity security landscape study, cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks puts the ratio at 109 machine identities per human,

110

including 79 AI agent identities across surveyed companies.

111

When we think about identity for the enterprise, some companies are still catching up with the new requirements because of the threat landscape.

112

The speed with which AI can operate from an attack perspective is significantly quicker than human -operated attacks.

113

What if someone is able to change where payments are going for your company?

114

Identity verification is crucial in sectors such as finance and retail, whether customers are using an AI agent to shop on a website

115

or an employee is using the corporate card to purchase an item.

116

So it's not just you saying I've got a credential, I've got a username and password, it's me

117

but we're also saying let's verify that is the context of

118

that correct does it look unusual is it risky is it out of character for what you normally do

119

and then applying controls from there companies should absolutely focus on identifier

120

and access management frameworks

121

we're seeing new frameworks evolve like know your agent these are all exactly right what our research shows is

122

that the management systems

123

that are in place for managing agents have significant gaps in terms of both their real -time monitoring

124

and their after -the -fact understanding of behavior.

125

One of these areas, for example, that we identified is exactly around agent ID.

126

So we really don't know whether an ID is consistent throughout a series of different decision -making processes.

127

The second thing we determined was whether The, what we call, chain of thought reasoning or note -taking

128

that the agent deploys throughout the process is really an accurate way of understanding how that decision -making process happens.

129

For businesses that have already deployed AI agents across their infrastructure, one question remains, how to deploy agents safely?

130

There are three key actions that need to happen immediately in order for companies to feel safe and secure about deploying agents.

131

The first is what happens with every technology.

132

We just need good standards.

133

Secondly, we need to do additional research.

134

And then thirdly, we need governments and policy makers, regulators to better understand how the technology works.

135

If you really care about what you're using, you need a dummy copy to let the agent work on

136

and you need to have almost a whole separate thing where it cannot get to it.

137

It is a wild learning experience.

138

Still super bullish on AI.

139

It is an incredibly valuable tool and you will 10x your output.

140

You just have to take security seriously and you have to be prepared.

141

The cyber incidents we've seen with some of these AI agents has definitely put companies with a little bit more caution now.

142

I don't think that's going to stop their interest in the technology,

143

but the C -suite at most organizations could be pretty cautious around some of this technology.

144

They don't want to jump into something they don't really have a grasp on

145

or that has the ability to damage their business, their share prices and their earnings.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
