Summary
You did not approve these agents. There was no vendor evaluation, no procurement process, no board sign-off. But they are running in your environment today. This episode covers three agents that arrived without the normal enterprise procurement process: Microsoft Scout — the always-on ambient AI agent now live inside Microsoft 365; Accenture's strategic investment in AlphaSense — the agentic market intelligence platform used by ninety percent of the S&P 100; and Anthropic's Mythos cybersecurity AI, now running in over one hundred fifty organizations across fifteen countries including critical infrastructure. The question is not whether to adopt AI agents. That decision has already been made for you. The question is whether you know what they are authorized to do. Three desk actions: ask your CTO what Scout is authorized to do in your environment; find out if your top competitors are using AlphaSense; and if you are in critical infrastructure, ask your security team about Glasswing access.
