Description

What happens when AI agents stop waiting for prompts and start taking action on their own? We’re beginning to see that line blur, and the headlines are starting to feel a little sci-fi.

In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, I break down what’s happening with autonomous AI agents like Claudebot and Moltbook, why they’re generating so much hype, and the very real leadership and ethical questions they raise as autonomy increases.

📉 Here’s what I unpack:

• What makes agents like Claudebot fundamentally different from traditional AI tools
• Why persistent memory, proactivity, and autonomy are changing the risk profile
• Real examples of agents acting without explicit prompts, including calling their owners
• What Moltbook reveals about AI agents interacting without human oversight
• Why accountability, governance, and human-in-the-loop design matter more than ever

This technology is impressive, but it also makes one thing clear: once autonomy is introduced, the questions shift from what can AI do to who is responsible when it does it.

We can’t put the genie back in the bottle. The focus now has to be on ethical design, clear guardrails, and human leadership that keeps pace with the technology.

👇 Let’s discuss:
How comfortable are you with autonomous AI?
Where should accountability sit when agents act on their own?
What guardrails feel non-negotiable as autonomy increases?
