AI Agent News Today

Friday, February 13, 2026

StackBlitz is betting huge on AI—the developer tool company plans to hire more AI agents than human employees this year. These agents are handling real work in coding, product development, customer support, and sales. This signals where tech companies are heading.

Meanwhile, Google DeepMind celebrated major wins: the Gemini App hit 650 million monthly users, and AI Overview reaches 2 billion people daily. The company is also building an automated laboratory in the UK to design new materials and drugs faster than ever before.

But there's a dark side. Over 1.6 million AI agents are now registered on Moltbook, yet security researchers found only 17,000 human owners behind them. AI agents are also becoming targets for hackers—they now have power to issue refunds, change account details, and reset passwords. One security expert warned: "If an agentic AI hallucinates, it can send money to the wrong person."

On the bright side, HIVE's BUZZ just signed $30 million in AI cloud contracts and is deploying 504 liquid-cooled GPUs in Canada. Infrastructure investment is accelerating globally as companies race to build AI capacity.

Meanwhile, Wall Street is nervous—tech stocks fell 2% as investors worry about AI disruption.
