Episode 114 - Can We Trust AI Agents With Real-World Actions? | Permissions, Safety & Control

AI agents can search, send messages, update records, and interact with business systems. But how do we make sure they act only within the boundaries we intend? In Episode 114 of Anupam Tech Talk, we explore the engineering principles that help make AI agents safer when they can take real-world actions. In this episode, you'll learn: Why an AI agent's capabilities must be separated from its permissions How least-privilege access reduces risk When human approval is appropriate How prompt injection can manipulate agents Why tool calls and business rules need independent validation How audit logs, monitoring, and recovery controls help What an agent should do when it is uncertain Key takeaway: Autonomy should be designed with clear boundaries, enforceable permissions, and safe ways to stop or recover from mistakes. 💬 Question: Which action would you never allow an AI agent to perform without human approval?
