AI agents need human review before they act, not after. The speaker warns against letting them automatically send emails or operate without oversight, arguing that current AI is nowhere near safe enough for true autonomy.
And as someone who uses a lot of AI and has agents, if agents were really deterministic and followed all the rules, this would be a great framework. They mostly do that. One of the fundamental decisions everybody needs to make about AI is like, how much authority and autonomy do you want to give AI? In the same way, I have some friends who have AI agents that send emails without human review. I'm like, that sounds dangerous to me. The only way you're going to catch those things is on the way out. So you need to have eyes on these things. And I think this nirvana that you would set something and forget it and it would just run in perpetuity autonomously is nowhere near where we are today.
