How AI Agents Are Different From AI?

AI is no longer just about providing answers—AI agents now act. They perceive their environment, make autonomous decisions, and access tools and data to execute tasks. Whether it's an MRI scan assistant making medical recommendations or a travel agent booking your trip, these AI systems act independently, raising critical questions about trust and security. But with greater autonomy comes greater risks. Unlike traditional cybersecurity threats, AI agents introduce new challenges—they can retain sensitive data, be hijacked, or be manipulated through model poisoning. Hackers no longer need to break into databases—they can exploit AI decisions through simple interactions. So, how do we secure AI agents while ensuring they remain trustworthy? In this episode, we explore the unique risks of AI agents and the new security strategies needed to govern them. 🔊 Listen to this trailer and tune in for the full episode of Episode 135, Season 6 of The FIT4Privacy Podcast. 🎧 This is an extract from the full episode of The FIT4PRIVACY Podcast.
