As models transition from passive advisors to active multi-step task executors across digital networks, potential for catastrophic systemic failure scales exponentially — without rigorous legislative oversight + embedded algorithmic surveillance, autonomous agents will inadvertently trigger massive financial disruptions or critical infrastructure degradation. Future AI deployment must be legally bound to verifiable safety thresholds before unfettered access to real-world operational environments. | Next major AI agent-triggered infrastructure failure event

Key catalyst: Next major AI agent-triggered infrastructure failure event

Watch events: Next US/EU AI regulation milestone

Anthropic RSP (Responsible Scaling Policy) operationalizes framing; EU AI Act, California SB 1047 (vetoed), UK AISI align with policy thesis.
