Now it's important to consider how the customer's personal AI agent will interact with the product and solve problems. It should be deployed already in the development phase. What rights is it safe to give AI agents? Instead of the classic emulation model, where an employee has a fixed set of access, it is better to use rights management at the task level. The agent gets temporary access to the necessary systems, completes the task and loses rights after its completion. This helps reduce risks. What to do with AI agent errors Artificial intelligence is not a normal program: it chooses its own tools and ways to solve problems, so it can make mistakes. Just like live workers.
