Study warns of security risks as ‘OS agents’ gain control of computers and phones
New research reveals how OS agents — AI systems that control computers like humans — are rapidly advancing while raising serious security and privacy concerns.
Researchers have published the most comprehensive survey to date of so-called “ OS Agents ” — artificial intelligence systems that can autonomously control computers, mobile phones and web browsers by directly interacting with their interfaces. The most sophisticated systems can handle complex multi-step workflows that span different applications — booking a restaurant reservation, then automatically adding it to your calendar, then setting a reminder to leave early for traffic. The development of AI agents requires a complex training pipeline that combines multiple approaches, from initial pre-training on screen data to reinforcement learning that optimizes performance through trial and error.
