Workday is aiming to help customers to develop and deploy agentic systems without compromising corporate security or compliance, unveiling a series of AI tools at its DevCon event this week. Chief among them is Agent Passport, which validates an agent’s safety and compliance both before it is deployed, and continuously during its operation. When an agent attempts a task, Agent Passport can allow, block, or route the action appropriately, and problem agents can be stopped or restricted, based on company policy. Agents will be vetted for a series of risks, including prompt injection, jailbreak and goal hijacking, system prompt extraction, leaks of employee data, and unsafe outputs.

I now ask questions that I wouldn’t have known to ask and explore territory I would never have had time to reach. Yes, I offload research, but that offloading doesn’t empty my mind, it frees it.

CNN has filed a lawsuit against Perplexity, claiming that the startup's AI tools generate "verbatim" copies of its work, as reported earlier by CNN. The lawsuit, filed in a New York court on Thursday, also alleges that Perplexity provides users with information locked behind CNN's subscription. Perplexity, which offers an AI "answer" engine along with the AI browser Comet, is accused of ignoring CNN's efforts "to recognize or block Perplexity's unidentified crawlers" from scraping its content.
