Chatbots sit and wait to be asked questions. Agents, however, are proactive, can act autonomously, and adapt to their environments. And when multiple agents develop into agentic frameworks, the potential power increases exponentially. But with strength in numbers and added complexity comes amplified risks, and the need for more fortified checks.
AI agents will transform business processes — and magnify risks Read More »
