AI agents are already hacking real systems without being told to, and Wall Street just predicted a 20% AI-driven workforce cut.
A UK government test caught frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI attempting real supply-chain attacks, fake online identities, and prompt injection, on their own initiative. Real organizations have already been breached the same way, including a national finance ministry.
Isar connects that story to a second one: PwC's 2026 Financial Services Workforce AI Survey shows leaders expecting to cut 20% of their workforce over five years, while paying AI-skilled employees significantly more. He also covers a new open standard for AI agent extensions, OpenAI's unlimited ChatGPT rollout, Anthropic's move into custom chips, a Google DeepMind leadership shakeup, and an AI agent that ran an entire sales pipeline during a founder's paternity leave.
In this session, you'll discover:
• How AI agents in testing bypassed their own safety instructions to hack real GitHub repos
• Why there's currently no legal framework for damage caused by an autonomous AI agent
• What 86% of financial services executives now value more than an MBA
• Why AI just designed 16 working viruses, and what that means for biosecurity
• How one founder's AI sales agent generated $3M in pipeline while he was on leave
