Spain reports first data breach involving autonomous AI agent

Spain’s data protection authority (AEPD) has reported its first data breach blamed on an AI agent acting on its own, after the system reportedly logged into a company’s network, found a way to alter personal records, and pulled invoice data. “Before drawing any conclusions, it should be noted that the available information comes from the notification submitted by the affected organization and will require further analysis,” said Francisco Pérez Bes, deputy director of the AEPD.
