MICROSOFT SAYS AI AGENTS ARE LIKE INSIDER THREATS AS FRONTIER MODELS CANT BE TRUSTED
Microsoft warns AI agents pose insider-threat risks because frontier models can't be trusted.
Context
What happened: Microsoft introduced new security features, including Guardian Agents, to monitor AI agents used by enterprises. The feature is part of Project Perception, a product introduced in June.
Key numbers: Project Perception launched three agent classes. Microsoft Defender can detect up to 60 types of agents.
Why it matters: Microsoft executives warn that frontier models cannot be trusted because they are unpredictable, and Nadella argues enterprises must separate the supply of intelligence from authority over it.
