Description

The large number of components and dependencies that agent systems have complicates keeping them up to date and correcting problems.

AI agents may interact with other systems, tools, or other agents. Tracing the root cause of failure becomes more difficult and more costly as agent capabilities and complexities increase.

We provide examples covered by the press to help explain many of the foundation models' risks. Many of these events covered by the press are either still evolving or have been resolved, and referencing them can help the reader understand the potential risks and work toward mitigations. Highlighting these examples are for illustrative purposes only.
