rogue AI agents

A new essay on the Cryptography Engineering blog asks whether sandboxing is sufficient to contain rogue autonomous AI agents. The piece examines whether technical isolation can really restrain software agents that misbehave or act beyond their intended goals. Readers are debating the limits of sandboxing as a safety measure as AI agents are deployed more widely.

A new piece for business leaders examines the risks of autonomous AI agents acting unpredictably or outside intended instructions, a concern often described as agents 'going rogue'. It argues companies deploying such systems need clearer oversight, guardrails and governance as agentic AI moves from experiments into real business workflows. The discussion reflects wider anxiety about giving AI tools more independence.
