ИИ-агенты в проде: как измерить безопасность и снизить риски внедрения

Недоверие бизнеса к агентным решениям растёт пропорционально их распространению. И это недоверие небезосновательно: агент — это не просто чат-бот с улучшенным промптом.

Ошибка агента с доступом к почте и документам — это потенциальная утечка данных, репутационный или финансовый инцидент.Эта статья адресована бэкенд-разработчикам, которые уже выкатили агента в прод или готовятс Read more
