Inside the labs building frontier AI, a growing share of the coding gets done by the AI itself. These agents write, edit, and run software with light human oversight between steps, and they reach into production infrastructure, research pipelines, and potentially the systems that train and evaluate future models. A new analysis from researchers at the University of Oxford and SaferAI digs into the security risks that live in everything around those agents: the people … More
