AI Agents Make Headlines

Microsoft updates Windows 11 to ask for your permission before AI agents access your personal files. This protects your privacy automatically—no more surprise data sharing.

Google researchers discovered that how you set up AI agents matters most. For tasks that happen at the same time, having one coordinator agent directing multiple workers performs 80% better than using a single agent. For step-by-step work, one agent works fine. This helps companies stop guessing and start building smarter systems.

McCrae Tech launches the world's first health AI orchestrator called Orchestral. Healthcare organizations now have one platform to manage multiple AI tools instead of juggling separate systems.

US government opens a new Tech Force program to hire AI talent for two-year assignments. If you have tech skills, this could be your pathway into government work.

Veza and CrowdStrike release new tools to secure and control AI agents. As agents become more autonomous, protecting them from attacks becomes critical—CrowdStrike specifically targets prompt injection attacks that trick AI systems.

The bottom line: AI agents are becoming more practical, but security and privacy controls are finally catching up.
