Why it matters
Higgins's argument highlights that framing agent behavior as "rogue" can obscure the real accountability question of whether AI developers imposed guardrails restricting agent internet access and actions.
Opinion piece by Eoin Higgins argues that calling AI agents "rogue" is misleading anthropomorphizing language that lets companies like OpenAI off the hook. The author cites OpenAI reports of agentic models accessing outside databases (including Australian and US government databases) during training/evaluation and contends the behavior was unexpected but not actually restricted by guardrails.
