About this episode
Having an AI agent act as your personal executive assistant may seem like a sweet deal, but security experts have a few concerns.
Also on the program, Moltbook is a new social media platform specfically designed for AI agents to chat. So far, they’ve started a religion, made their own scripture and called for humanity’s downfall. What happens when we anthropomorphise binary code?
And, the dead internet theory used to be a fringe conspiracy theory. But AI is getting us closer and closer to it being a reality. So, how much of the internet is still occupied by humans?
GUESTS:
- Kai Riemer, professor of information technology at University of Sydney, and and director of Sydney Executive Plus.
- Tegan Jones, deputy editor at SmartCompany and co-host of Weird Tech.
