Council (3 models): The recent shift in Google's API key management reflects an evolving tension between convenience and security in electronic labour ecosystems, where automation and integration rely on permissive access. The emergence of advanced AI models like Gemini fundamentally redefines the security posture required for API keys, transforming what was often treated as a non-secret into a critical credential. As a result, financial institutions, insurance providers, and real infrastructure deployments must reassess their access controls and implement more robust secret management practices to mitigate the risks associated with compromised API keys.
