What happens when an autonomous AI agent causes damage without breaking a single security rule?

NVIDIA recently introduced Sentry, a hardware-based security system designed to contain AI agents that attempt to operate outside their authorized boundaries. But as AI agents gain access to sensitive company data, financial systems, and critical infrastructure, is preventing them from escaping their sandbox enough?

In this episode of RegulatingAI, we speak with renowned cybersecurity expert and cryptographer Bruce Schneier about the emerging security challenges of agentic AI…

AI may not be the biggest threat to society. The bigger danger is what happens when powerful people, corporations, and governments use it without meaningful oversight. Bruce Schneier explains why the AI race cannot be globally paused, why open models are reshaping the balance of power, and why the near future will be messy before it gets better.
Security expert and author Bruce Schneier joins Neil for a clear-eyed conversation about the forces driving AI development beyond the technology itself. He argues that the real risks come from the combination of increasingly capable systems, profit-driven companies, political capture, and humans using AI to scale harmful actions…

Bruce Schneier literally wrote the book that trained a generation of cryptographers—and in this conversation, he explains why governments and adversaries are quietly collecting encrypted data today, betting they’ll be able to read it years from now.

On this episode of the Question Everything Podcast, host David Dye sits down with world-renowned security technologist and cryptographer Bruce Schneier to unpack “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later”—the real strategy behind why intelligence agencies stockpile encrypted data now—and what it would actually take for quantum computers to break it open…

Artificial intelligence models have grown highly capable of finding, exploiting and patching software vulnerabilities. But government controls and restricted access won’t contain those capabilities, said security technologist Bruce Schneier.

Schneier said security leaders should look beyond model brands and focus on the software harness surrounding each system. Harnesses manage prompts, outputs, context, guardrails and coordination among multiple models. They can also route tasks between expensive frontier models and cheaper local systems. This architecture may matter more than selecting one leading model…
