Infographic titled “AI Agents 101” from the Center for Media at Risk. At the top, colorful abstract waves frame the header. Below, cartoon-style robot illustrations appear throughout the design. A section labeled “What Are AI Agents?” explains that an AI agent is a system that perceives an environment, makes decisions, and takes autonomous actions to achieve goals. Additional text defines agents as technology that simulates human learning and as entities that act on behalf of another. Two side-by-side boxes compare Early AI and AI Now. Early AI: stand-alone models; simple rule‑based systems; followed fixed “if‑then” instructions; could not handle ambiguity; used predefined logic; required manual updates. AI Now: compound systems; combine models with tools, memory, and feedback loops; alternate between reasoning (Think) and taking actions (React); display adaptive, interactive behavior. A mid-page section notes that using Amazon services means interacting with agentic AI systems. A small technical diagram appears beside this text. Another box lists sectors that use AI agents most actively, including: software engineering; customer service and e‑commerce; finance and accounting; cybersecurity; marketing and copywriting; academic research. At the bottom, a section labeled “Components of an AI Agent System” explains that AI agents coordinate real‑world tasks and may include goal‑directed technologies, large language models, tools (such as calculators, web search, or databases), and memory systems. Small robot illustrations line the bottom of the graphic.

A vertically oriented infographic titled “Cross‑Border Digital Security for researchers & journalists.” It is divided into four sections: What to Expect, Before Traveling, At the Border, and Secondary Screening. The design uses teal, purple, black, and grey accents, with icons for search, devices, and borders. Section 1: What to Expect A box with two subsections: Basic search: Manual search of information on your devices. Advanced search: Use of external equipment to forensically analyze and copy data. A dotted line surrounds a grey bubble stating: “Information solely stored in the cloud cannot legally be searched.” Section 2: Before Traveling A bulleted list: Update software Create strong passwords Deactivate TouchID & FaceID Backup devices to the cloud Log out of email & social media accounts Delete sensitive content Clear “Recently Deleted” Put sensitive apps in a password‑protected folder Encrypt laptop using BitLocker or FileVault Print travel documents Delete sensitive public posts on social media Bring a travel phone instead of your usual device Ensure someone knows your port‑of‑entry location Consider temporarily suspending work accounts Print out your attorney’s contact details Section 3: At the Border Guidance for device handling: Disable cellular and Wi‑Fi network access Keep your device in airplane mode Turn off device before going through customs To the right is an illustration of a smartphone and a note saying: “Decide in advance whether you will unlock your device or provide the passcode for a search.” Section 4: Secondary Screening A bulleted list: Be polite and try not to escalate the situation Do not lie, but do not offer unrequested information If you choose to unlock your device, ask to type the passcode yourself If your device is seized, ask for a custody receipt with name and contact for the supervising officer In an advanced search, document all details for potential legal action (names, badge numbers, equipment used, changes to your device or data)
