Episode Description
Agentic AI moved out of the lab and onto front pages this week, and not in the way vendors hoped. The Telegraph documented companies scrambling as AI agents triggered operational chaos, while NCSC and the Five Eyes issued their first formal advisory on agentic systems. UK regulators tightened — AISI struck a pre-release safety pact with Microsoft, the ICO published guidance on AI-generated FOI requests, and Liz Kendall warned the UK won't bankroll AI projects "on mercy". Meanwhile, Brussels softened its AI Act in a rollback deal that European CEOs cheered.
