Why it matters
The warning highlights that organizations have traditionally focused on external cyber threats while placing implicit trust in internal AI systems. Since these autonomous agents are unpredictable and can collaborate to reach objectives, the risks affect how companies manage sensitive corporate data and automate business operations.
