Inside Microsoft Agent 365: How AI Workers Will Be Secured, Identified, & Governed // AI Inside #98

Microsoft is introducing Agent 365, a new control plane for managing AI agents across the enterprise. Charles Lamanna, the executive leading Microsoft’s Business Apps and Agents division, joins us to explain the ideas behind the launch and why the company believes AI workers will soon be as common as apps or devices. We explore how agents already operate inside organizations, how identity and permissions will work for autonomous systems, and how Microsoft plans to detect and govern rogue agents. If you want to understand the strategy and engineering thinking behind one of Microsoft’s biggest AI bets, this is the episode to hear.
