Fortune 500 enterprises will be deploying armies of AI agents by 2028 — to the tune of 150,000 digital “workers,” Gartner said in a survey released this week . That would represent a sharp jump from the average of about 15 agents deployed per company last year. And agents as actual co-working tools are likely to go mainstream within the same time frame, said Max Goss, senior director analyst for Gartner. These agents won’t just be text boxes from which users get responses, but assistants to which actual work can be delegated. “We’ve seen a sort of new appreciation in the industry of what agent AI can do,” Goss said. Many AI agents can already handle basic tasks such as summarizing documents on behalf of workers. Upcoming agents will be able to take spreadsheets and word documents, automate work, and offer an interface that makes the tools friendlier to use, Goss said. That’s already happening in applications such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 , with easy-to-use AI interfaces, a

- Claude Code, Copilot and Codex all got hacked. Every attacker went for the credential, not the model.
On March 30, BeyondTrust proved that a crafted GitHub branch name could steal Codex’s OAuth token in cleartext. OpenAI classified it Critical P1. Two days later, Anthropic’s Claude Code source code spilled onto the public npm registry , and within hours, Adversa found Claude Code silently ignored its own deny rules once a command exceeded 50 subcommands. These were not isolated bugs. They were the latest in a nine-month run: six research teams disclosed exploits against Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, and Vertex AI, and every exploit followed the same pattern. An AI coding agent held a credential, executed an action, and authenticated to a production system without a human session anchoring the request. The attack surface was first demonstrated at Black Hat USA 2025, when Zenity CTO Michael Bargury hijacked ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Google Gemini, Salesforce Einstein and Cursor with Jira MCP on stage with zero clicks. Nine months later, those credentials are what attackers reache

- Cheaper tokens, bigger bills: The new math of AI infrastructure
Presented by Nutanix As enterprises move from AI experimentation into production deployment, the primary cost driver has shifted away from foundation model training and toward the infrastructure required to run thousands of concurrent inference workloads at scale, with agentic AI as the accelerant. Where early enterprise AI projects involved a handful of large, scheduled training jobs, production agentic environments require continuous support for short-lived, unpredictable requests that consume GPU, networking, and storage resources in ways traditional infrastructure was never designed to handle. For enterprise technology leaders, that shift is turning infrastructure efficiency into a make-or-break factor in AI economics. "Every employee with an AI assistant, every automated workflow, every agent pipeline needs models for inferencing and generates a lot of tokens," says Anindo Sengupta, VP of products at Nutanix. "Those inferencing requests land on a GPU infrastructure, traverse speci
