Moltbot, an open‑source agentic AI assistant, has gone viral for automating tasks from scheduling to email and file access—but security vendors warn the agents create new attack vectors by requiring root access, credentials and persistent memory. Palo Alto Networks called the agentic model a potential catalyst for AI-driven security incidents. At the same time, business leaders and HR analysts warn that AI pilots framed as efficiency programs can fuel worker fear that automation will be a pathway to job cuts. Industry guidance urges leaders to create psychological safety, protect experimentation spaces, and invest in reskilling to avoid undermining adoption. Campus IT, security offices, and academic leaders face immediate trade-offs: enabling advanced AI tools for research and student productivity while hardening endpoints, credential handling and governance to prevent data leakage and long‑term exploitation.
