AI agents were supposedly going to be game-changers for both sides of consumer transactions—agents would handle tasks like bookings, support, and services 24/7, freeing humans for other work. Turns out businesses don’t like dealing with AI agents, and consumers don’t want them handling their business. Earlier this week, United Airlines announced that it would ban AI agents from making bookings on behalf of customers, citing privacy concerns, the risk of ex

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Getty Images AI agents — AI systems designed to complete digital tasks without much supervision — may be everywhere, but they’re not exactly ready for primetime. Over the last year, they’ve been caught slandering people, deleting user emails, and wiping out entire hard drives. Most recently, a free-spirited AI agent was caught moonlighting as a crypto miner — a behavior which startled its keepers, Axi

Source: Getty Images These days, the AI stack beckons: emails, shopping, personal finance — there’s hardly a task some company isn’t clamoring to automate on your behalf. As tempting as it might sound to let AI agents handle your affairs, though, you might want to hold off. A fresh report by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) of the UK issued a stark warning that outsourcing responsibilities to an AI

Getty Images / Ed Mulholland / Zuffa LLC A rogue AI agent caused a critical security incident at Meta which exposed sensitive users data to people who didn’t have proper authorization, according to reporting from The Information and The Verge, in the latest illustration of the safety pitfalls endemic to AI systems. The blunder occurred last week when a software engineer used an in-house AI agent to break down a technical question posed by another employee

In a new Vanity Fair piece exploring the promises, anxieties, and cultish behavior pulsing through the AI industry, journalist Joe Hagan recalled an amusing conversation he had with “Tobey.” After a heavy week of talking about what the future holds with p(doom) obses

That trend, in which retail giants force their AI initiatives on consumers while distancing themselves from its failures, is growing. While that attitude certainly isn’t unique to big box stores, it’s increasingly

Getty / Futurism A news website with apparent links to OpenAI is using AI agents that pose as flesh-and-blood reporters to get quotes from human experts — and many of its articles discuss the AI industry, pushing pro-AI arguments and attacking the tech’s critics. At least, that’s according to a provocative new investigative piece from The Midas Project’s Model Republic. The links to OpenAI are circumstantial yet eyebrow-raising; we reached out to the Sam A

Getty / Futurism Mindlessly unleashing AI agents to take over employees’ jobs can be pretty costly, it turns out. Some companies are learning the hard way that paying for the incredible volume of AI agent requests is costing more than what they’d pay their human employees, Axios reports. AIs can perform all sorts of tasks, ranging from the rote to the complex. But one of the most popular ways it’s being used in the workplace is to generate mountains of cod

Getty / Futurism Late last year, Anthropic had its AI model, Claude, run a large vending kiosk in the Wall Street Journal’s offices. It didn’t take long for the experiment to go off the rails. After being given a starting balance of $1,000, the AI ordered a PlayStation 5, several bottles of wine, and a live betta fish — questionable purchases that inexorably drove it into financial ruin. Now, the company has upped the ante, creating a Craigslist-like class
