Regulators just watched an AI agent run 80–90% of an espionage campaign…and their response so far is basically: “Interesting, let’s schedule a workshop.” 😏
Our latest Forecast Card asks the question nobody at the podium wants to answer:
By the end of 2026, will any regulator or hyperscale SaaS/identity giant be forced to treat AI agents/connectors as high-risk C2 — with signed connectors and auditable agent logs made default, and GTG-1002-style attacks used as the excuse?
If AI can already run intrusions faster than your change-control board can schedule a meeting, what happens first: real guardrails, or another “unforeseen” AI-assisted breach and a retroactive rulebook?
📈 We put a 55% probability on someone blinking before 2027 — and break down what that would mean for IdP teams, connector marketplaces, and your “just turn on the AI assistant” roadmap.
