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.
