On the latest episode of This Week in AI, host Vicki Reyzelman, a senior solutions engineer at Akamai, looks at what happens when AI agents start moving faster than the systems built to support them. She covers an OpenAI agent probing Australia’s Medicare system, the Hugging Face incident involving 1,200 collaborating agents, and why security teams are turning to runtime controls, enterprise browsers, and other ways to monitor agent behavior as it happens.
Vicki also examines the infrastructure behind the AI boom, including rising data center power demand, faster model release cycles, and the growing role of edge and local inference. She closes with consumer agents such as Meta’s Muse, new AI-enabled devices, and the questions they raise about shopping, privacy, permissions, and how much authority people will hand over to software acting on their behalf.
