Autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents are beginning to manage inboxes, trade on prediction markets, and respond to messages, sometimes without needing their users to even be awake. From “Clawdbot” to “OpenClaw,” the open-source AI agent capable of acting autonomously has generated significant buzz across social media. Users appear fascinated by the idea of handing over control to the system, giving the bot free rein over parts of their online lives.
