·AI agents are executing end-to-end ransomware campaigns autonomously, moving beyond theoretical threats to active criminal infrastructure.
·Enterprises are building domain-specific LLMs to maintain control over sensitive data rather than outsourcing to third-party platforms.
·Regulators and developers are debating whether LLMs should be classified as interfaces or decision-makers when deployed in critical systems like healthcare.
·Attackers are exploiting model hallucinations and chain-of-thought reasoning to craft convincing social engineering and browser-based attacks.
