Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, please send me a witch voice note.
The TopCat AISignal Report #90
AI agents become more useful as they gain more autonomy.
They can research.
They can draft.
They can summarize.
They can route work.
They can execute code.
They can update records.
They can trigger a workflow.
They can send messages.
And that last group of actions creates real operational risk.
The safest model is not “full autonomy” or “no autonomy.”
It is graduated autonomy.
Low-risk actions can be automated.
Medium-risk actions can be monitored and constrained.
High-risk or irreversible actions should require explicit approval.
