Personification of AI is what’s going to get us in the end.
I think we need to draw a hard line in the sand over this. An AI didn’t hack into a company, the engineer set an automated tool to. An AI didn’t make an egregious security mistake, the engineer did.
We can’t blame the chisel for messing up our sculptures, when where just throwing the hammer!
The current agents are _not_ like a chisel which just sits there on its own when no one is around. The situation is a bit closer to someone's dog biting a person - you can argue that it's the owner's responsibility, and that's all fine, but using the dog as the subject of a sentence is perfectly appropriate. Same thing with "agents hacked".
The default state of agents and LLMs is inert. It requires action from a human even be able to do something. From the very basics like starting the software, connecting it to a network, having hardware to run on.
But the most important wrt AI is to keep the owners/operators responsible. Don't let them weasel their way out of it. They are for sure trying, and will continue to. This includes using language to overemphasise agents importance in bad outcomes, in order to downplay their own responsibility.
