In the AI Era, Insider Threats Are Not Just Human. They’re Artificial. by Mark Wojtasiak

The company’s latest agentic AI tools promise faster enterprise automation, but the more revealing story is the infrastructure AWS is building to monitor and contain them.

There’s no shortage of agentic AI tools out there that offer to perform online tasks on your behalf, if only you’ll give them all your passwords and credit card details. The trouble starts when those agents don’t know when to stop — or when others don’t know to stop them. In Estonia, the country’s AI Council has plans to change that, proposing to issue government-backed digital identities for AI agents that spell out what powers a person or company is willing to delegate to them. “In the future, AI will increasingly perform digital operations on behalf of a person, company, or institution,” said Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal in a news release. “To do this, it must be clear who is acting, on whose behalf, with what rights, and who is responsible.” He supported the AI Council’s proposal to create a digital identity for AI agents that will define agents’ rights and enable them to act in a verifiable and auditable manner.

First came vector databases, then RAG. Now, the next frontier in enterprise AI is taking shape: context layers that give autonomous agents a shared understanding of the business, a vision Databricks is advancing with Genie Ontology. Currently in preview, Genie Ontology automatically extracts business context from enterprise data, dashboards, queries, pipelines, documents, and applications and organizes it into a living graph that AI agents can use to understand how an organization operates. Showcased at the company’s Data + AI Summit, Genie Ontology uses a ranking system inspired by Google’s PageRank to identify the most authoritative business definitions within an organization. Rather than treating all sources equally, it weighs factors including who created the information, how widely it is used, its links to certified datasets and assets, and how recently it was updated before determining which answer an AI agent should rely on, Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi said during his keynote late
