What Could Go Wrong with AI Agents? 5-Minute Guide to Security Risks (Prompt Injection, Data Leaks)

Hi, I’m Amit Kumar, a Software Architect with nearly 20 years of experience.

AI agents can plan, reason, and act autonomously — but what happens when something goes wrong?
In this ~5-minute beginner-friendly video, we break down the most common security risks in AI agents using simple, real-world examples.

You’ll learn:

What prompt injection looks like in AI agents

How data leakage can happen through memory and tools

How agents can perform unauthorized or dangerous actions

Why AI agents introduce a new attack surface compared to chatbots

What developers should watch out for from day one

This video is part of the Agentic AI Security playlist and is designed for:

Developers new to AI agents

Senior engineers and architects

Security-minded teams evaluating agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT)

⚠️ Short, practical, and security-first — perfect if you want the risks explained without hype.
