AI Agents Are Wandering Government Websites on Their Own

Original: AI Agents Are Starting to Wander Around Government Websites on Their Own. The Internet Wasn’t Built for This.

Autonomous AI agents are increasingly browsing government websites without human direction, according to a new report. The piece argues the internet's basic architecture was never designed for machine-driven traffic of this kind, raising questions about strain on public systems, accountability for agent actions, and how agencies should handle non-human visitors accessing services intended for citizens.

Why now: Growing public and policy concern over autonomous AI agents interacting with government infrastructure without oversight.
