When AI goes wrong and signs you up to an awful legal deal, who’s to blame - you, or the agent?

AI is crossing the line from ‘nice-to-have’ to ‘invisible infrastructure’, and once it does there’ll be no turning back.

We dive into the AI-first future, the landmark trial on addictive design for social media, and questions whether OpenClaw is already plotting the demise of the ‘meat bags’...

This episode of Disconnected covers:

• The blurred line between tool and infrastructure
• Accountability when AI fails
• Addictive design and teens’ mental health
• The rise of Agentic AI with a new, open source tool
