Future problems:
* HCI/UX designs: How to design new interactions?
* Evaluations and datasets: What datasets will enable to accelerate progress?
* Social norms: How do we know what is appropriate and not?
* Multi-agent systems: When multiple agents interact, who is right? 5/6

While these problems are unsolvable in general, Contextual Privacy and Security for Agents offer new way to define policies for each situation to mitigate these threats. We can use both Model-level (reasoning) and System-level (reference monitors) designs to operationalize the policies. 4/6

We can break this into three questions for agents:
* Subjectivity of outputs: Does AI-generated text or image have spin or bias?
* Reality/ambiguity of inputs: What part of inputs can we trust?
* System complexity: What new issues complex reasoning and action plans (research agents) will bring 3/5

Core idea: agent security isn’t just "can the model do X?", but "should it do X here?" and that answer depends on context. Without contextual policies we either lose in utility or open agents to new attacks. 2/6
