What happened?
TCC Group Chief Technology Officer Kit Ruparel recently discussed the operational risks of Agentic AI in Ecommerce & Payments Briefing. He warned that autonomous AI tools operating across multiple platforms create novel vulnerabilities, including data leaks, compliance gaps, and security risks, particularly when deployed without strict oversight.
Why does it matter?
With the rapid rise of ‘shadow AI’ alongside specific risks like prompt injection and unintended actions, software errors can scale instantly. Ruparel emphasizes that agentic AI must be managed as high-risk infrastructure with robust governance, permissions, and security-first deployment rather than treated as simple chat tools.
