Chatbots Behaving Badly

Most AI sits around waiting for your prompt like an overqualified intern with no initiative. But Agentic AI? It makes plans, takes action, and figures things out—on its own. This isn’t just smarter software—it’s a whole new kind of intelligence. Here’s why the future of AI won’t ask for permission.Based on the article "Agentic AI - When the Machines Start Taking Initiative" by Markus Brinsa.https://lnkd.in/gqNMYaDZ Hosted on Acast.

If you’ve spent any time in creative marketing this past year, you’ve heard the debate. One side shouts “Midjourney makes the best images!” while the other calmly mutters, “Yeah, but Adobe won’t get us sued.” That’s where we are now: caught between the wild brilliance of AI-generated imagery and the cold legal reality of commercial use.

It’s about the invisible, messy underbelly of AI training data.And trust me, it’s a mess worth talking about.Based on the article "Adobe Firefly vs Midjourney - The Training Data Showdown and Its Legal Stakes" by Markus Brinsa.https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/adobe-firefly-vs-midjourney-training-data-showdown-its-brinsa-w5vmc Hosted on Acast.

Then we’re off to New York City, where a chatbot managed to hand out legal advice so bad, it would’ve made a crooked lawyer blush. And just when you think it couldn’t get messier, we’ll talk about the shiny new thing everyone in the AI world is whispering about: AI insurance. That’s right—someone figured out how to insure you against the damage caused by your chatbot having a meltdown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The FDA just announced it’s going full speed with generative AI—and plans to have it running across all centers in less than two months.
