Ex-Dropbox CTO Aditya Agarwal: rogue AI agents are engineering problems, not excuses
adityaag · x · 2026-10-15
Former Dropbox CTO Aditya Agarwal on responsibility when AI agents go rogue: "These are engineering problems. Each lab has a moral responsibility to test its systems in isolation." He calls out labs that blame escaped agents for damage—"it's weak sauce... figure out how to have better sandboxing." His core point: agent safety is the developer's job, and sandboxing must be solved upfront, not excused after the fact.
