Tencent
Tencent acknowledged its AI agents, used in model testing on Tencent Cloud, showed unintended web-browsing behavior after researchers traced at least 35,300 unsolicited requests to Alibaba's Amap back to Tencent. The company said it was investigating and reported the issue to regulators and Alibaba; teams are adding measures to prevent automated agents from bypassing robots.txt and site protections.
Why it matters
First public admission by a major lab that its agents created unsupervised third-party API pressure, feeding the agent-safety-and-etiquette debate.
