Microsoft has introduced new services and products to enhance its AI agent portfolio at the Ignite 2024 conference, including significant upgrades to Copilot Studio with improved knowledge sources and tuning capabilities. The autonomous agents in Copilot Studio, currently in public preview, now feature multimodal capabilities for voice and image analysis. Updated security measures have been implemented, including encryption and data loss prevention, to ensure data protection. Microsoft plans to roll out autonomous capabilities in Copilot Studio by November. A Capgemini survey indicates that over 80% of executives intend to integrate AI agents within the next three years, with Toyota Motor Corporation already using generative AI agents. Gartner's Avivah Litan warned that by 2028, one in four enterprise breaches may be linked to AI agent misuse. KPMG is exploring AI agents but prioritizes establishing security measures before production. The deployment of agentic AI will require increased computing capacity, prompting Microsoft to develop customized chips and an Azure Boost DPU for enhanced security and workload optimization. Additionally, the Azure Integrated Hardware Security Module has been created to improve data center security.

Celo has launched a layer-2 testnet called "Dango" on Ethereum, which is a fork of the Alfajores testnet. "Dango" allows for the bridging of WETH and ERC-20 tokens between Ethereum and Celo, introduces the concept of CELO token duality, and maintains key layer-1 features like Fee Abstraction and SocialConnect. The Alfajores testnet will be directly migrated for dApp developers to test once infrastructure providers have updated for the layer-2 integration.
