In this newsletter, we explore AI agents: what they are, recent breakthroughs (last week was big), the risks they pose, and how autonomous AI agents might integrate with a vision for the People’s Internet.
What are AI agents?
Unlike AI chatbots, which respond to user prompts in a single interface, AI agents can autonomously complete multi-step tasks—like researching and booking flights—across multiple systems. While chatbots facilitate back-and-forth interactions, AI agents allow users to delegate entire tasks or projects and let them run independently.
AI agents also differ from AI companions, which are chatbots specifically engineered for emotional connection and social interaction.
The People’s Internet
Beyond concerns over data privacy, surveillance, and security, AI agents challenge our understanding of how we interact with the internet—and our role within it.
