Browsing: Agentic AI

Here’s the kind of story that did the rounds in early 2026. Someone spins up an AI agent on a cheap server, gives it a personality, and lets it loose online. Within days it has a pen pal on the other side of the world. The two write to each other several times a day.…

AI adoption’s main villain is safety. We’ve been seeing incidents of data exfiltration and confused deputy attacks. It happens because an LLM is probably the weakest link in the system.

If you work in product or tech, you have probably sat through this meeting. Someone forwards a vendor demo or a viral post, and suddenly the roadmap needs an agent, an MCP app, or a harness. We see the same scene in client meetings all the time, usually starting with “we need an agent for…

This time last year, I released a Deeplearning.ai course with Andrew Ng on Governing AI agents with the goal of educating developers on the basics of data protection for effective and responsible agent deployment. The motivation for the course came from IBM’s 2025 breach study, which found 97% of the organizations that suffered an AI-related…

I’m tasked with building agents to augment some of our internal work. These agents need to research the internet, talk to internal recipe for prompt injection disasters. As Simon Willison calls it, the lethal trifecta
