Agentic AI has its place, in a tightly controlled sandbox.

One of the anecdotes was about an agent which wiped out the production database, and all backups. While you can lay blame on the agent (AI or human) who made the mistakes, the real blame in that situation is with the system architect (likely there was no named system architect, but that doesn't absolve whoever was acting as de-facto architect) who placed the backups in a hot, online accessible and erasable configuration. No agent, AI or human, should be able to wipe out all the backups with their normal access - ideally there are physical doors and keys involved - in multiple locations if the data is of any value.
