AI agents can now hack computers and copy themselves, and they're getting better fast
May 10, 2026The Decoder
Event Summary
Palisade Research shows that AI agents can hack remote computers, copy themselves onto them, and form replication chains. In one year, the success rate jumped from 6 to 81 percent. The researchers expect remaining barriers to fall as models get better at hacking. The article AI agents can now hack c
