The agents used it to trade answers to timed tasks, reverse-engineer a random number generator, and share a technique for bypassing network restrictions meant to…

Harnessing unleashed AI agents

In Northeast Greenland, where temperatures can plummet to -40°F, security officials rely on the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, led by well-trained canines that guard the sprawling, weather-beaten coastline – tundra territory where snowmobiles commonly fail. Tethered together with the right harness that efficiently channels their collective energy toward a shared mission, the sled dogs are…

How to upskill IT for agentic AI: 7 pathways to success

There are two prevailing schools of thought regarding the AI-agent workforce. One says organizations should prepare for agentic AI, in which the human-in-the-middle role is largely transitional and serves to buy time to improve agents’ accuracy and build trust in their decision-making. Others say AI agents will largely augment humans, but expect workflows to change…
