AI used to wait for your prompt. You asked a question. It answered. Simple. But that’s changing.
Welcome to the era of Autonomous Agents... where you give AI a goal, and it figures out the steps to achieve it.
In this episode of Decoded: AI for Everyone, we explore:
· What autonomous agents actually are — and how they’re different from assistants.
· Real-world examples where agents are already operating in business, finance, logistics, and content creation.
· The hidden risks when AI starts acting without supervision
· Practical ways to design guardrails, keep oversight, and stay in control as AI systems become more independent.
As always, this is AI Decoded, demystified, and human-made.
