> A rogue AI led to a serious security incident at Meta

The AI "led to" the incident , true. But do nt forget that this, like all similar incidents , is a human failure

AI is a tool with no agency. People make mistakes using it, thone mistakes are the responsibility of the humans

Why do we keep calling these things "agents" then? Or using the term "agentic"?

Claw AIs absolutely do have agency in the sense of being able to independently perform actions on their own, based on their "understanding" of a goal given by a "principal". I can't think of a better word than "agent" for that.
