This week, This Week in Practical AI examined the emerging security challenges posed by AI systems operating autonomously in the wild. The episode explored how agentic AI—systems designed to take independent action—creates new attack surfaces that traditional vulnerability research hasn't fully accounted for, including the problem of fake proof-of-concepts that complicate threat assessment. The tension between AI's growing autonomy and our ability to reliably identify and exploit its weaknesses underscores a critical gap in current security practices.
