## Resource

An engaging exploration of how artificial intelligence is evolving beyond chatbots that simply answer questions. This episode examines how AI agents can plan, make decisions, complete tasks, manage digital tools, and work with limited human supervision. It also considers their potential impact on employment, business, education, privacy, security, and everyday life. As these intelligent systems gain greater independence, the discussion raises important questions about trust, accountability, human control, and how society can use AI agents responsibly.
