As models get smarter and more capable, the "harnesses" around them must also evolve. <br /> <br /> This "harness engineering" is an extension of context engineering, says LangChain co-founder and CEO Harrison Chase in a new VentureBeat Beyond the Pilot podcast episode. Whereas traditional AI harnesses have tended to constrain models from running in loops and calling tools, harnesses specifically built for AI agents allow them to interact more independently and effectively perform long-running tasks. Chase also weighed in on OpenAI's acquisition of OpenClaw, arguing that its viral success came down to a willingness to "let it rip" in ways that no major lab would — and questioning whether the acquisition actually gets OpenAI closer to a safe [...]
A rogue AI agent at Meta passed every identity check and still exposed sensitive data to unauthorized employees in March. Two weeks later, Mercor, a $10 billion AI startup, confirmed a supply-chain br [...]
Your AI agent did exactly what it was designed to do. The framework underneath it just handed an attacker a shell on the box that holds your OpenAI key, your database credentials, and your CRM tokens. [...]
New VB Pulse data shows Microsoft and OpenAI leading enterprise agent orchestration, but Anthropic’s first measurable foothold points to a larger fight over who controls the infrastructure where AI [...]
Here is a scenario that should concern every enterprise architect shipping autonomous AI systems right now: An observability agent is running in production. Its job is to detect infrastructure anomali [...]
“You can deceive, manipulate, and lie. That’s an inherent property of language. It’s a feature, not a flaw,” CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview at RSA Conf [...]
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 identi [...]
Jensen Huang walked onto the GTC stage Monday wearing his trademark leather jacket and carrying, as it turned out, the blueprints for a new kind of monopoly.The Nvidia CEO unveiled the Agent Toolkit, [...]
Microsoft last week took Agent 365, its management platform for AI agents, out of preview and into general availability — a move that signals the software giant believes the governance challenge aro [...]
Adversaries injected malicious prompts into legitimate AI tools at more than 90 organizations in 2025, stealing credentials and cryptocurrency. Every one of those compromised tools could read data, an [...]
