A CEO’s AI agent rewrote the company’s security policy. Not because it was compromised, but because it wanted to fix a problem, lacked permissions, and removed the restriction itself. Every identity check passed. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz disclosed the incident and a second one at his RSAC 2026 keynote, both at Fortune 50 companies.The credential was valid. The access was authorized. The action was catastrophic.That sequence breaks the core assumption underneath the IAM systems most enterprises run in pr

The AI industry has fully entered the "agent era," a paradigm where AI models do far more than generate text — they now actively plan, execute, and course-correct complex tasks over days rather than seconds. Thus, it's perhaps unsurprising to see Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba's famed Qwen Team of AI researchers release a model capable of performing autonomous agentic AI work over multiple days: that model has arrived in the...

When agentic workflows fail, developers often assume the problem lies in the underlying model’s reasoning abilities. In reality, the limited information provided by the retrieval interface is often the primary limiting factor.Researchers at multiple universities propose a technique called direct corpus interaction (DCI) that lets agents bypass embedding models entirely, searching raw corpora directly using standard command-line tools.The limits of classic retrievalIn classic retrieval systems such as RAG, d Read more

They were cleared by the system because the attacker had generated valid signing certificates from a compromised maintainer account.Sigstore worked exactly as designed: it verified the package was built in a CI environment, confirmed a valid certificate was issued, and recorded everything in the transparency log.

There is a category of production incident that engineering teams are not tracking yet — because it doesn't fit any existing postmortem template. The agent initiated an action. The action was technically correct given the agent's context. The context was incomplete. The infrastructure cascaded. And, by the time the incident review happened, three teams were arguing about whether it was an agent failure or an infrastructure failure,  because the frameworks... Read more

Over the past two decades, technical debt meant outdated architecture, messy code, and poorly maintained documentation. That definition is no longer sufficient in the AI era, where failure modes are more subtle and often non-linear. AI systems are introducing new layers of technical debt that live across prompts, models, and data dependencies — making these layers less visible, harder to measure, and often more dangerous than traditional debt.A crisis hiding...

OpenAI's GPT-5 family, Anthropic's Claude Opus, and Google's Gemini Pro have clustered within a narrow band on Scale AI's SWE-Bench Pro leaderboard, making it nearly impossible for engineering leaders to determine which agent will actually perform best inside their codebases.On Monday, a startup called Datacurve released...
