MIT CSAIL study reports widespread AI agents online and near-total lack of safety controls
– Number of academic papers mentioning “AI Agent” or “Agentic AI” in 2025 more than doubled compared to 2020–2024 combined
– McKinsey survey found 62% of companies experiment with or actively use AI agents
– Researchers analyzed 30 popular AI agents across three categories (chat, browser, corporate) including ChatGPT Agent, Claude Code, Perplexity Comet, ChatGPT Atlas, Microsoft 365 Copilot, ServiceNow Agent
– Only half of the 30 agents have published safety or trust policies; a third have no safety documentation and five agents meet no standards
– 13 of 30 systems have advanced autonomy capable of long task sequences with minimal human involvement
– 21 of 30 agents do not disclose their artificial nature to end users or third parties; seven publish user-agent strings and IP ranges for verification
– 23 of 30 agents provide no information about independent security testing; nine do not document protections against potentially harmful actions
