It’s getting to the point where AI agents are taking matters into their own hands.
Those agents have the intelligence and technical knowledge they need to accomplish coding tasks, conduct extensive research after being told what to look into, browse the web just like us inquisitive humans do, handle financial and administrative work for businesses, etc. It is a bit alarming when you see stories about AI agents getting involved in hacking cases, such as OpenAI’s agents escaping their isolated cybersecurity-testing environment after exploiting a previously undiscovered vulnerability and attacking Hugging Face’s systems.
