## Summary

Apple says in its annual financial filing that AI agents that act in "unintended or unpredictable ways" could expose it to lawsuits or harm its reputation. The new risk factors say agents may interact with systems they are not authorized to access, alter code, send communications, and complete transactions. Apple's filing also says it may have limited ability to oversee and control third-party AI agents.
