Nearly half of the security and technology professionals in a recent Salt Security survey confirmed or suspected that an AI agent had taken an unintended, unexpected, or unauthorized action in their organization over the past year.
AI security is entering a new stage as organizations look beyond protecting models from prompt injection, unauthorized access, and data exposure.
The AI industry's biggest names are investing in more than just models and infrastructure — they're focusing on workforce readiness. OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft and Amazon are backing Raise US, a new nonprofit that aims to raise $1 billion to help American workers prepare for an AI-driven economy.
Microsoft recently announced that it's redesigning Copilot, the company's all-encompassing AI assistant, so users can hand off complex tasks, build tools by describing what they need and assign work to an agent that keeps going after they log off.
