Maybe I'm just an alarmist (MS Autopolit+Scout)
Dave Lum
“Today we are introducing a new category of agents called Autopilots. Autopilots are always-on agents that work autonomously, with their own identity, and act on your behalf.
Autopilots stay active in the background, understand how work gets done across your apps and systems, and take action without needing to be prompted each time. Because they operate with their own identity, they can carry out tasks within the permissions and policies you and your organization set."
And Scout: “It operates across cloud, desktop, and web, connecting to Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint, and to the data that powers your day, including chats, email, calendar, and contacts. You interact with it in Teams, and extend its reach through the desktop app to your browser, local resources, and model context protocol servers.”
Nah, no security concerns here…

For real – my varsity is I break things (I call them false positives but my team feels otherwise :), but at a slow rate. Looking forward to AI creating false positives that act a lot like a DoS attack.
“oh, you want to monitor everything that is measured in MB/GB/TB across the entire domain and you want it polled every second? AI can make this mistake for you 1,000’s of times faster!”
How can it predict what I want to do next when I have no idea what I am doing *now*.
