Agentic AI-based services are the new Shadow IT. Change my mind.
I'd argue that very few companies have any real appreciation for how many of their employees are already feeding API keys and other stuff into fairly new and questionable agentic AI tools or platforms. So many companies are like, oh we're taking a wait-and-see approach to adopting AI. Meanwhile, half their dev team is doing critical development work on shared servers that have no authentication or limited (no 2fa) auth.
@briankrebs just this afternoon a colleague and I were questioning whether the real “AI is coming for your job” was not “AI will replace you” but “idiots with AI are going to tank your company and you’re all getting laid off when it collapses”.
