In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I sit down with Professor Gillian Hadfield, a leading scholar in AI alignment, governance, law, and economics, to explore one of the biggest shifts on the near horizon: the rise of an “economy of agents.” Right now, humans are still at the center of the digital economy. We search, shop, compare, negotiate, decide, and transact. But tech companies and investors are pouring billions into a future where autonomous AI agents may begin doing most of those things on our behalf, becoming the primary actors across markets, platforms, and digital life. Professor Hadfield explains why our existing systems of governance, from courts to legislatures, are not built for a world where AI is the primary operator in the economy, why the rise of agent-run businesses could challenge the very idea of the firm, and why she believes the real existential risk is an economic crash.
