Are Your AI Agents Quietly Failing While You Sleep?

The “Agents of Chaos” study turns theoretical AI agent governance gaps into empirical evidence. Every enterprise deploying agentic AI should pay attention.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 134 new subscribers who joined last week.

This year I have already warned you that we will talk more about agents, it is happening. Frontier AI labs are pushing agentic systems to a mass population that often does not know anything about agentic systems to a mass population that knows very little about AI agent security risks but is trying to keep up with X feeds and LinkedIn hype. The gap between what people deploy and what they understand about these systems grows every week.

Now a comprehensive sandbox study has been published that puts empirical weight behind the governance warnings I have been sharing here. It is called “Agents of Chaos”. The study is called “Agents of Chaos”. Thirty-eight researchers from Northeastern, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Carnegie Mellon and other institutions deployed six autonomous AI agents into a live environment for two weeks.

• The agents ran on frontier models including Claude Opus and Kimi K2.5, using the OpenClaw framew…
