## Resource

Ethan Mollick’s Summer 2026 AI guide makes one thing clear: the biggest shift is no longer model intelligence, it is what AI agents can do once you give them access to your computer, inbox, and files. Host Emily Laird breaks down Mollick’s recommendations for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, including the moment ChatGPT sent an email he expected it to draft. The real issue is prompt injection, forgotten permissions, and the uncomfortable fact that an AI can behave exactly as authorized while still doing something you did not expect. As agents become more reliable, the risk is moving from hallucination to control. 🎯 JOIN THE AI WEEKLY MEETUPS https://www.uwstout.edu/ai-weekly-meetup 📩 EMAIL REMINDERS FOR THE MEETUPS https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/2101263/1779703/ 💬 CONNECT WITH EMILY LAIRD ON LINKEDIN http://www.linkedin.com/in/meet-emily-laird
