Artificial intelligence agents – also known as agentic AI – can now build and launch software based on a few prompts. But AI agents can produce incorrect, misleading, and even malicious code that hackers can exploit. Thanks to a gift from Amazon, a pair of computer scientists from Cornell Bowers and Cornell Tech will lead the development of safety protocols to shore up AI agents and the code they produce.
