Anthropic anticipates AI virtual employees coming in next year, security leader says

Anthropic – the company behind the artificial intelligence platform Claude – anticipates that digital AI employees will appear on corporate networks in the next year, the organization's top security leader informed Axios.Jason Clinton, Anthropic's chief information security officer, noted that these virtual workers could mark the next area of innovation in the AI space, the outlet reported. The AI entities would have "memories," parts to play within the business, and company accounts and passwords – they would have much greater autonomy than agents currently do now, Axios noted.SAM'S CLUB PHASING OUT CHECKOUTS, BETTING BIG ON AI SHOPPING"In that world, there are so many problems that we haven't solved yet from a security perspective that we need to solve," Clinton said, according to the outlet.AI employees could hack the system in which code is merged and tested prior to being rolled out, he reportedly suggested. CAR DEALERS MOVE TO COMBAT IMPACT OF TRUMP AUTO TARIFFS WITH AI TOOLS"In an old world, that's a punishable offense," Clinton noted, according to the outlet.
