Summary
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.

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 .
