Smarter Online Safety with Jocelyn King
Are AI agents about to change everything? In this episode of Smarter Online Safety, I sit down with AI builder Andrew Melnychuk-Oseen to explain what AI agents really are, how agentic AI works, and how to use this technology safely — without handing over the keys to your business or your data. Most people think AI is just ChatGPT answering questions. But AI agents are different: they can select information, make decisions, and take action on their own. Andrew shares the moment an agent started writing and running its own code on his computer ("legitimately scary"), and then breaks down exactly how to stay in control. Whether you're an AI beginner, a business owner, or just trying to keep up, this is your no-hype, safety-first guide to the agentic AI era. 🤖 In this episode, you'll learn: * What AI agents are and how they actually work * The difference between an LLM and true intelligence (and why superintelligence isn't here yet) * The real cybersecurity risks of giving AI agents access and permissions * How to use agents safely with limited permissions, approval gates & human-in-the-loop * 2 techniques anyone can use: context hardening + chain of verification (to cut AI hallucinations dramatically) * Why AI agents, crypto, and free models could reshape companies and governments * The new "AI literacy" skills everyone will need 🔗 Connect with Andrew: LinkedIn @AMOVFX | saagasolve.com
