Daily AI Agent News - December 2025

Critical AI Agent Updates You Need Now

Hackers found a new way to attack AI agents. They trick AI into following hidden commands buried in normal requests. Check your AI security immediately.

Top AI companies can now find security holes worth millions. Anthropic discovered frontier AI models found $4.6 million in blockchain exploits. If your AI agent handles money or sensitive data, you need stronger protection today.

ServiceNow bought security company Veza to solve the biggest AI problem. Most businesses can't control what AI agents access or do. This tool tracks AI agent activities and sets precise rules for what they can touch. They're integrating it into their AI Control Tower.

AWS re:Invent (concluding today) showed AI agents transforming business right now. Meet "Kiro"—an AI that learns how your team works and operates independently for days. Lyft used AI agents and cut customer problem-solving time by 87%. AWS released four new powerful AI models to customize.

Bottom line: AI agents are production-ready now. Security, tracking, and control must come first.

Veeva AI Agents Go Live for Life Sciences

Veeva Systems launched AI agents designed for life sciences companies. The Pre-call Agent helps sales reps get ready for meetings by gathering customer insights and data. The Quick Check Agent scans marketing materials to catch compliance issues before official review. These tools free up teams from routine work to focus on what matters most—connecting with customers and improving products.

Amazon Deploys 9 New Agent Features

AWS announced nine new capabilities that help developers build AI agents production-ready in under 10 minutes. Developers can now write agents in TypeScript and deploy them directly to edge devices like robots and vehicles. Built-in security logs create tamper-proof records—critical for healthcare and finance. Real-world results show the average agent development cycle is now 55% faster.

Business Leaders Embrace AI Agent Future

New research from DeepL reveals 69% of global executives expect AI agents to fundamentally reshape their businesses in 2026. This signals a major shift: companies are moving beyond experimenting with AI chatbots toward deploying autonomous systems that handle complex business workflows without constant human oversight.

The bottom line: AI agents just became practical, secure, and mainstream.

Amazon Released Game-Changing AI Agents Today

AWS unveiled three powerful "frontier agents" that work like team members. Here's what matters:

Kiro - Your Virtual Developer

• Works autonomously for days without interruption
• Learns your coding style and team standards over time
• Completes complex projects independently

AWS Security Agent - Your Virtual Security Expert

• Automatically catches security risks while you code
• Suggests fixes before problems happen
• Found bugs other tools completely missed (SmugMug caught a data exposure this way)

AWS DevOps Agent - Your Operations Team Member

• Tests performance automatically
• Prevents incidents proactively
• Commonwealth Bank now builds banking infrastructure 3x faster

Why This Matters: These agents solve the real problem—developers spending time "babysitting" AI. Now you assign goals, agents handle execution.

Bonus Announcements:

• Amazon Trainium3 chips deliver 4x faster training and 4x energy efficiency
• Bedrock AgentCore adds safety controls: use plain English to set boundaries for what agents can do
• Amazon S3 Vectors now handles 2 billion vectors per index—40x larger than before

All preview versions available now.

Zilliz achieves AWS Agentic AI Specialization, meaning enterprises can now deploy self-operating AI systems using Amazon Bedrock Agents with enterprise-grade security and performance. This matters because AI agents gain the memory and reliability to handle real business processes, not just experiments.

NEC launches AI agent service for procurement negotiations in Japan. In real-world testing, the AI reached 95% automation rate, cutting negotiation time from hours down to just 80 seconds. For manufacturers juggling thousands of parts, this is a game-changer for supply chain speed.

DeepSeek released new AI models (V3.2 and V3.2-Speciale) that match OpenAI's GPT-5 and Google's Gemini-3 Pro. The V3.2 now integrates thinking directly into tool-use, meaning it reasons and takes actions independently.

Databricks and NVIDIA partnered to solve healthcare's biggest AI problem. Since 97% of medical data is unstructured and trapped in formats like DICOM, their new solution (Databricks Pixels + NVIDIA MONAI) makes this data AI-ready.

Action Now: Supply chain managers should evaluate NEC's service. Healthcare AI teams should explore the Databricks-NVIDIA platform launching at AWS re:Invent this week.

Fujitsu Breaks Through AI Agent Security Wall Fujitsu solved the biggest challenge holding back business AI: multiple companies' AI agents can now safely collaborate without sharing secrets. Starting January 2026, they're testing this technology with Rohto Pharmaceutical to revolutionize supply chains. The innovation uses a secure gateway that lets agents negotiate and coordinate while protecting confidential data.

Meta Speeds Up AI Training Data by 15x Meta AI released Matrix, a new framework that generates training data 2-15 times faster than traditional methods. The key: replacing slow central controllers with a distributed peer-to-peer system. This saves massive computing costs.

Enterprise AI Agent Adoption Accelerating Across Asia-Pacific, 40% of enterprises already deploy AI agents with over 50% planning to add them by 2026. Regional AI spending is forecast to nearly double from $90 billion in 2025 to $176 billion by 2028.

Rakuten Launches Production AI Agent Tool Rakuten officially released Rakuten AI, an agent-based platform ready for real business automation.

Your Action: If you work in supply chains or tech, watch Fujitsu's January trials. This could transform how companies collaborate and compete.
