One Cancelled Gym Class. That's How Agent Swarm Attacks Start.

What's really happening when AI agents interact with software, credentials, and other people’s systems?

The common story is that dangerous agents must become malicious — but the reality is that an ordinary goal, ambiguous instructions, or one poisoned source can be enough to cause real damage.

In this video, I share the inside scoop on the agent-security incidents that are beginning to connect:

Why a gym-booking agent canceled a real person’s reservation
How poisoned skills can redirect already-trusted agents
What the AIR and AISI findings reveal about real-world attack paths
Why accidental misalignment may be the everyday threat
How identity, scoped authority, explicit norms, and a stop button reduce the risk

Operators, builders, and anyone deploying agents need to secure both sides of the equation: what their own agents can do and what other people’s agents can do to their systems.
