Deep dives

Democratization of AI Agents

AI agents are becoming increasingly accessible, allowing individuals and organizations to create their own without needing specialized technical expertise. Tools like Copilot Studio enable users to easily develop AI applications tailored to their specific needs. This shift marks a significant change from traditional AI models, which were controlled by large tech companies, to a more user-driven approach. However, this democratization also raises concerns about security, as the lack of oversight could lead to misuse or unintentional errors.
