"In the post, Microsoft explains that agents will have their own accounts on your Windows 11 PC. They'll also have "limited access to your user profile directory" and, if needed, will be granted read and write access to certain folders, including Documents, Downloads, and Desktop. And while Microsoft claims that all AI decisions must be approved by a human and all actions will be logged and reported, the tech giant acknowledges that activating these agents could be a bad idea."
"As these capabilities are introduced, AI models still face functional limitations in terms of how they behave and occasionally may hallucinate and produce unexpected outputs. Additionally, agentic AI applications introduce novel security risks, such as cross-prompt injection (XPIA), where malicious content embedded in UI elements or documents can override agent instructions, leading to unintended actions like data exfiltration or malware installation."
Windows 11 will receive AI agents that can complete tasks and modify files on users' behalf. Agents will run under their own accounts and have limited access to user profile directories, with possible read/write permissions for Documents, Downloads, and Desktop. All agent actions require human approval and will be logged and reported. Agentic AI can hallucinate and introduce novel security risks such as cross-prompt injection, data exfiltration, and malware installation. Due to these risks, the agents will not be enabled by default and must be manually activated by users.
