Promise and Peril in the Age of Agentic AI - "Agentic AI" is the newest thing in AI. It promises systems that can talk to people and things around them, plan, and learn. But the truth is more complicated than what all the ads say. We're creating a world where the line between human and artificial interaction quickly disappears. https://lnkd.in/eWTHmGhX

The Risk Isn’t Agentic AI Autonomy—It’s Misunderstanding - The current conversation around agentic AI has been focused on autonomy and decision-making. But the potential impact of agentic AI is bigger than that. Since agents have the ability to plan their own actions, use enterprise tools, interpret environmental cues, and refine their behavior based on feedback, they pose exponential risks that users need to consider. https://lnkd.in/ekEK3e2w

Cybersecurity companies underinsured? - Data breaches are a major concern to businesses and governments around the world. So one would think that carrying cyber insurance would be a given. It is not, especially for one particular classification of industry: Cybersecurity. According to Munich Re, a risk analysis firm, 87% of companies lack coverage. Ransomware payouts doubled to $1.1B in 2023, according to Chainalysis. That’s probably why the cyber insurance industry is booming. The market hit $14B in 2023 and is set to double to $29B by 2027. Large firms are more likely to carry insurance than small to medium companies (SMCs), even though they are more likely to be targeted by cybercriminals. However, small companies are more likely to carry much larger limits than larger companies. https://lnkd.in/e82QSZbt Protection Magazine

How will we secure bots that buy? - In the not too distant future we can expect bots to carry out actions such as shopping, research, and even transactions on our behalf. Consumers will be able to ask bots to search for, recommend or select and purchase goods and services, taking the tedium out of the processes such as finding a coveted item or purchasing concert or flight tickets. But providing that level of trust to a bot will require us to readjust our mindset when it comes to bots, not mention some radical adjustments to the mechanisms that make it happen. https://lnkd.in/epFzEguT Protection Magazine
