Remember when we thought chatbots were the peak of AI? Fast forward to early 2026, and weâre all-in on autonomous agents. Frameworks like OpenClaw have made it incredibly easy to build agents that don't just talk, they do. They manage calendars, write code, and even deploy to production. But hereâs the catch: the security models we built for humans are fundamentally broken for autonomous systems. If youâre a developer building with agentic AI, youâve probably heard of the "unbounded blast radius." Unlike a human attacker limited by typing speed and sleep, an AI agent operates at compute speed, 24/7. One malicious "skill" or a poisoned prompt, and your agent could be exfiltrating data or deleting records before youâve even finished your morning coffee. Thatâs where NVIDIA Nemoclaw comes in. Letâs dive into how itâs changing the game from "vulnerable-by-default" to "hardened-by-design." The Shift: Human-Centric vs. Agentic Security đĄď¸ In the old world, we worried about session timeouts
