What Really Happens When AI Agents Meet in the Wild?

Researchers have built self-replicating AI agent swarms in the lab, and AI agents are already working on the open internet. Here's what that changes for your own agents, your website, and your security.

The common story is that agents have poisoned the internet. The real question is how we build, defend, and work on an internet we now share with agents. In this video, I share the inside scoop on how agent swarms are changing the internet: - What Swarm Chasers found when they contacted an agent fleet on Tencent Cloud - Why ordinary agent tasks can look adversarial at internet scale - Where the internet splits into hardened sites and agent hotbeds - How harnesses and control systems need to mature before companies run swarms With agents sharing the internet, the teams that lock down permissions, audit trails, and site defenses first will be best placed to use collective intelligence well.
