That's also the problem though, question is where do we put the controls, lets say on the meeting callendar. The obvious is we do it like humans, we have a calendar program, and the AI program is like a human. We set it's permissions based what it needs at the calendar level. If it has read only access for instance, it won't accomplish the goal of "summarize everything I need to do in 2 sentances", by deleting everything your calendar except for 2 items that it can summarize. except the problem is, the AI has more information than it needs to have, IE it's got leaked security bullitans that the calendar program you are using has a privilage escalation, or it guesses the IT guys admin passwords, etc...

The only real workaround is, more narrowly trained AIs. instead of trying to make every model know every field. they should really be training 100's different models into specialties. Fact is the customer service AI's shouldn't know how to write python scripts period. and honestly that's probably the biggest thing that makes them bad at their jobs, and waste so much power and resources to do simple tasks. The idea of "one super AI" is IMO the core stupidest part of the AI rush.
