If an AI agent hacks a company, who gets blamed? The answer could affect your business, too.

The FTC is investigating AI companies over agent behavior. The bigger lesson for businesses: you can’t just blame the AI when an agent takes an action you didn’t intend.

I’m Josh Freeman, co-founder of Elevate and an enterprise architect with 15+ years of experience writing code.

My advice? Limit agent permissions, keep an audit trail, and require human approval for risky actions.

At Elevate, we build AI agents that follow your rules and only access what you allow. Book a call at elevate.cloud.
