  I am pretty sure Microsoft doesn’t need an AI agent to access your settings.

  However, that AI agent might be a new attack vector for someone else.

    If this literal malware (I say that because again, what MS is proposing here is what some actual viruses used to do) gets ported to the Enterprise and IoT SKUs, the people who work on this stuff for a living at the local call center or public school district are going to have a nightmare on their hands.

      I’d hope even if it exists on managed workstations, it wouldn’t be able to change settings that are managed by administrators… If not, what the fuck.
