AI agents are evolving fast—becoming autonomous, multimodal, and deeply embedded across industries. In this episode, we dive deep into the rise of next-gen AI agents, with a spotlight on OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-5 and the newly previewed “Operator” system, capable of executing user-defined tasks with minimal oversight. We explore how these powerful tools are transforming marketing, finance, logistics, education, and customer service—while raising urgent cybersecurity and ethical concerns.

We’ll compare OpenAI’s roadmap with Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, now offering native multimodal input and extended context memory. As these models move closer to real-time autonomous operation, we discuss the growing risks: data privacy, misuse of AI-generated content, and the looming threat of AI systems taking sensitive actions—like handling payments or logging into secure accounts—without human intervention.

Our panel also unpacks the safeguards being proposed, including “takeover modes” and user confirmations, and whether these are enough. Are we heading toward an AGI-powered future, or are we unleashing systems we don’t fully control? Tune in to get the unfiltered truth on the AI arms race and what it means for enterprise cybersecurity.
