Qualification: From Rogue Employees to Rogue Agents: Repurposing Insider Threat Detection for AI Agent Governance

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-183 · 2026-08-08

From Rogue Employees to Rogue Agents states that AI-agent monitoring and insider-threat detection share a baseline-profiling and deviation-flagging architecture that encodes trust assumptions. This supplies a concrete monitoring architecture to which Kaal's training-bias and novel-deviation limitation applies. The proposition does not test either bias or detection of deviations outside the baseline.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
