AI Browsers: The Risk of Obeying Malicious Websites

AI browsers, prompt injection, and web security: the new race to put AI agents in the browser is opening a troubling vulnerability.

In this episode, we examine why assistants built into browsers can mix tabs, permissions, memory, and sensitive actions in ways that conflict with the same-origin policy. We discuss prompt injection, memory poisoning, autonomous agents, risks to users and businesses, and why convenience does not always equal security.
