"Enter agentic AI. In general, these AI models are able to perform tasks that require some reasoning or information gathering, such as acting as live agents or helpdesk assistants for customer queries, or are used for contextual searches. The concept of agentic AI has now spread to browsers, and while they may one day become the baseline, they have also introduced security risks, including prompt injection attacks."
"Also: Use AI browsers? Be careful. This exploit turns trusted sites into weapons - here's how AI makes mistakes, and the datasets that large language models (LLMs) rely upon aren't always accurate -- or safe. Even if a browser is from a trustworthy, reputable provider, that doesn't mean any integrated AI systems, including search assistants or chatbots, are free of risk."
ChatGPT's rapid adoption accelerated AI use across surveillance, productivity tools, and other applications. Agentic AI models can perform reasoning and information-gathering tasks, acting as live agents, helpdesk assistants, or providing contextual searches. Agentic AI has been integrated into browsers, creating new attack surfaces. Prompt injection attacks occur when malicious actors insert content into prompts to manipulate AI and can steal data or push users to malicious websites. Google Red Team identified common abuses including data poisoning, adversarial prompts, backdoors, and prompt injections. Integrated AI systems in reputable browsers remain vulnerable despite provider trust. Developers are implementing fixes, and users can take protective steps.
