Beyond Prompt Injection

In late 2025, prompt injection attacks moved from labs to production systems. The article argues that input filtering alone cannot prevent these attacks due to the foundational architecture of LLMs. The solution is to implement deterministic validation of agent actions at the action layer—using capability contracts, least privilege for actions, and zero trust for machine identities. The key is to make security decisions based on proposed actions, not on detecting malicious instructions.

AI Tools Accelerates Coding, but Not Overall Software Delivery

GitLab's 2026 AI Accountability Report reveals that while 78% of developers code faster with AI, overall software delivery has not accelerated due to downstream testing and review bottlenecks, governance gaps, and traceability issues. 85% of respondents agree that AI has shifted the bottleneck from writing code to reviewing it.

AI agents are not your "coworkers"

Treating AI agents as colleagues rather than tools degrades human performance. Research shows people catch 18% fewer errors when AI is framed as an employee, and are more likely to escalate issues to managers. This raises risks of blame-shifting in high-stakes fields like healthcare and warfare. Economists suggest AI should be optimized to augment human abilities, not replace them.
