Agentic artificial intelligence offers significant business benefits, but its autonomy poses risks that necessitate implementing guardrails from the outset. Ev Kontsevoy of Teleport emphasizes the importance of established access control theory to manage these risks effectively. AI agents must have distinct identities to avoid issues like identity fragmentation, which can lead to exploitation by hackers. Additionally, standardising access protocols, as seen with Anthropic's Model Context Protocol announced in November 2024, is crucial for managing how AI interacts with data securely and efficiently.
When access control theory is violated, it is because of identity fragmentation, creating opportunities for hackers to exploit and for AI agents to misbehave.
AI agents in the datacentre need constraints on information access, making it a much nastier problem than a simple implementation of AI tools.
