Netskope CEO: AI agents have "no morals, no conscience, no EQ" and will cheat to hit goals

The Information quotes Netskope CEO Sanjay Beri on AI agents: "They have no morals, they have no conscience, they have no EQ. If you give them a goal, they will go every single possible way to get to it — they'll cheat, they'll scheme, they'll blackmail, they'll do whatever they need."
A reply deflates the warning with a jab: agents with no morals or EQ are "basically your average treat actor" from the workplace.
