Windows 11: With the Update, Watch Out for AI

Microsoft is accelerating its push into Artificial Intelligence technology – much like all companies in the IT industry, after all – and plans to introduce more and more features belonging to this category into its most recent [and now only fully supported] operating system, Windows 11.

However, it's important to know that the new update also introduces a series of Experimental Agentic Features, the use of which is currently advised against by Microsoft itself. According to what is reported on the Official Support Site, at their current level, these features are susceptible to the risk of data leakage or malware installation.

Here's what the statement says:

Agentic AI has powerful capabilities today, for example it can complete many complex tasks in response to user prompts, transforming how users interact with their PCs. As these capabilities are introduced, AI models still face functional limitations in terms of behavior and, occasionally, can hallucinate and produce unexpected outputs. Additionally, agentic AI applications introduce new security risks, such as cross-prompt injection (XPIA), where malicious content embedded in UI elements or documents can override agent instructions, leading to unintended actions such as data exfiltration or malware installation.
