Hi,
The transition from "chatting" with AI to letting AI "act" is a massive leap in productivity—but it also changes the rules of security.
I recently published a blog that captures this shift. Traditional LLMs are like advisors; they give you information, and you decide what to do with it. Agentic AI, however, is like an intern with a set of keys. It can browse the web, access APIs, and execute tasks autonomously.
The risk isn't just about the AI being "smarter"—it's about the Autonomy Risk. When an agent can make decisions without a human in the loop for every step, a single prompt injection or a flawed instruction can lead to real-world actions that are hard to undo.
