Study finds widespread weaknesses in autonomous agents

A multi-institution study found that autonomous agents across several sectors are highly exposed to tool-chaining, goal drift, and memory poisoning attacks. The findings suggest agentic systems face broader and deeper security risks than stateless large language models.

Federal safety net unprepared for Artificial Intelligence job losses

Economists are warning that the federal system designed to support displaced workers is not equipped for a wave of job losses tied to Artificial Intelligence. Existing unemployment benefits and retraining programs are widely seen as too limited to manage broad disruption.
