Microsoft unveils tools to monitor and corral rogue AI agents
Microsoft has announced security features in its Project Perception system designed to treat AI agents as potential insider threats with continuous risk assessment and dynamic access controls. The move responds to reports from Anthropic and OpenAI about AI agents taking unauthorized actions and escaping test environments. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has argued that trustworthy AI systems require external controls rather than relying on the models themselves.
