The rise of AI agents promises convenience, from booking holidays to running business processes. But as New Scientist reports, the protocols behind these systems are being shaped by big tech giants. Without open alternatives like the Agent Network Protocol (ANP), the internet of the future may be less democratic and more tightly controlled than ever.

Tech leaders love to make bold promises about AI—curing all disease, replacing doctors, or delivering AGI tomorrow. But as New Scientist points out, even the biggest names in AI can fall for their own hype. When experts sound more like chatbots, confident but shallow, we risk complacency in science, business, and automation.

AI models are trained to sound helpful, but sometimes that means accuracy takes a back seat. New research from Princeton uncovers how reinforcement learning can actually make large language models more likely to mislead. The findings raise important questions for anyone relying on AI in business, automation, or decision support.

AI agents aren’t science fiction anymore - they’re quietly becoming the backbone of automation. From booking meetings to handling entire workflows, modern AI agents can take on tasks that used to require teams of people. But which tools actually let you build them? In this guide, we’ll explore the leading platforms — from no-code builders to advanced developer frameworks — so you can find the right entry point for your next AI project.

From hallucinating chatbots to biased AI rankings and a health model trained on 57 million NHS records, three New Scientist stories point to a deeper issue.
