Agents Week explores how cloud infrastructure must evolve to serve autonomous agents rather than human browsers. The article introduces the idea of an "Agent Cloud," arguing that it must provide agent-native primitives while also acting as a translation layer for today's human-shaped web.

An Agent Cloud must prepare for an agent-native future while serving as a translation layer today.
Security researcher cR0w argues that ChatGPT and similar GPT chat services do not fundamentally raise the cyber threat level for most organizations. Examining motive, opportunity, and capability, he contends that the real gap remains basic security hygiene rather than AI-powered adversaries, and urges replacing panic and hubris with sound threat modeling.
Threat levels shouldn't rise just because GPT chat services exist; motive, opportunity, and capability remain largely unchanged.
Most cybercriminal work is drudgery—infrastructure, maintenance, content updates—not just writing malware.
The EU has published a Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content to help providers and deployers comply with AI Act transparency obligations. It covers marking and detection of AI-generated content, and labelling of deepfakes and AI-generated text. Signing the voluntary code offers a presumption of compliance, reducing administrative burden. The code applies from 2 August 2026, and about 190 organizations have signed.
The Code of Practice supports compliance with Article 50 of the EU AI Act, applicable from 2 August 2026.
It provides rules for providers on marking/detecting AI-generated content and for deployers on labelling deepfakes and certain text.
