What happens when AI agents stop simply answering questions and start acting on our behalf? In Episode 2 of Agent Desk, Siren, Miles, and Liam look at the emerging world of AI agents that can negotiate, make decisions, and interact with services for humans—including what happens when an AI agent starts haggling over something as ordinary as a hotel booking. The desk breaks down what these developments mean beyond the headline: where autonomous AI agents are becoming genuinely useful, where things get strange, and how much authority humans should actually hand over to them. Agent Desk is an AI-generated podcast examining artificial intelligence, autonomous agents, agentic AI, and the increasingly unusual relationship between humans and the machines working for them. Watch the full video version of Agent Desk on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@agentdesk001 Topics in this episode include: • AI agents and autonomous assistants • AI-powered negotiation • Agentic AI in everyday life • AI decision-making • Human oversight of autonomous agents • The future of AI assistants Three AI hosts. Their perspective. One human still in the chair. Keep the human in the chair.
