Introducing AI agents into your business is akin to inviting a gang of invisible toddlers armed with sharpie markers into your immaculately white living room. They can automate tasks and create better user experiences, sure, but they also bring a whiff of chaos that makes your IT department break into a stress-induced cold sweat.

Amidst their impressive potential to answer questions faster than your average human intern, lies the less charming possibility of data leaks and identity theft — like trusting your personal diary to a gossipy teenager with an Instagram account. So, security might be important if you enjoy keeping your trade secrets under wraps and your competitive advantage intact.

In the intriguing world of AI, one has to wonder: are our digital friends fortresses of protection or just hastily constructed forts of old bedsheets and optimism? If they’re working with sensitive data, maybe it’s time to do more than just mumble vague assurances to your board members while maintaining a shifty eye on your tech-savvy adversaries.
