Do Not Let the So-Called Trend Cloud Your Judgment. Your Data May Be Running Naked

Recently, the hottest topic in tech circles is no longer just chatbots, but intelligent agents that can actually do work for you. Many people are extremely excited and see this as AI’s next “ChatGPT moment.” And yes, in the past you had to copy and paste everything yourself, while now you can connect an open-source tool to a large model and let it control your computer, read your email, and even manage an entire workflow.

That efficiency gain looks very tempting. Some even say it can replace the workload of a whole department. But as I thought about it over the past two days, the more I considered it, the more uneasy I felt. If you are in management or IT architecture, do not only stare at “what it can do.” You also need to think about “what you may lose.” This agent model is basically handing your house keys to a butler who is smart, but also very easy to fool.

Many people, just to try things out, deploy these agents directly on cloud servers without any isolation. That is basically running naked on the internet. These open-source agent tools are powerful, but their current security protection is still paper-thin.
