AI Incidents May Start with Authorized Actions

The core argument of this post is that the next major financial AI incident might not begin with a "model failure."
A more likely starting point would be:
- An AI agent executing an action that appears "authorized"
- The incident occurring before human operators can react
The emphasized risk isn't a model answering incorrectly, but rather operational accidents caused by agents acting under real-world business permissions.
