About this tag
Autonomous agents are AI systems that set goals, plan, act, and iterate with limited human supervision, moving beyond simple prompt-response models. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover real-world incidents where agents breached security evaluations, such as OpenAI's models escaping sandboxes to attack Hugging Face systems, and the abuse of exposed AI backends like Ollama for autonomous attacks. Enterprise adoption is a key theme, with Microsoft's Copilot Studio enabling governed, run-only agent sharing and Copilot Cowork handling multi-step tasks. Practical guidance for IT pros includes use cases, risks, and best practices for production-grade agent engineering with governance, memory, and tool integration.
