Consider this. It’s Dec 2026. You have an AI agent.
You ask it to plan a trip to Bali. Flights booked. Resort selected.
Except, the AI hallucinates. Instead of Bali, it books your stay in Pattaya, Thailand.
The money’s gone. And no human ever approved the decision.

Experts say the next phase is agentic AI, meaning systems that don’t just assist us, but act on our behalf.
Agentic AI means more convenience. And less control.
In the latest episode of The Signal Brief, we break down what agentic AI is and what its rise means for consumers.
