Threats and vulnerabilities in artificial intelligence and agentic AI models

By framing higher-order agentic adversarial threats as hypothesis-driven, system-level risks, this work shifts adversarial AI security from benchmark-centric evaluation to behavioural integrity and lifecycle resilience. The proposed framework defines a coherent research agenda for agentic AI security that integrates control-theoretic reasoning and governance-aware defence design, addressing limitations of classical adversarial machine-learning theory.
