AI Agent Promises AGI, But What's the Catch?
10 Feb
Summary
- AI.com launched with a $70 million domain purchase and Super Bowl ad.
- Users are liable for AI agent actions, even unintended consequences.
- AI.com collects extensive user data, including screen recordings.
AI.com has emerged with a significant splash, reportedly acquiring the domain for $70 million and featuring in a high-profile Super Bowl advertisement. The platform aims to usher in an era of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by enabling users to create AI agents capable of performing various tasks. These agents are designed to operate autonomously and potentially interact within a decentralized network.
Despite the ambitious vision, users are warned of substantial risks. AI.com's terms of service place full liability on the user for any actions undertaken by their AI agent, including unintended or harmful outcomes. Users must independently verify all AI-generated outputs, as the agents are prone to "hallucinations" or inaccurate information.
Data privacy is another major concern, as AI.com may record user screens and audio, and ingest data from connected services like Gmail and calendars. The company disclaims responsibility for this extensive data collection, emphasizing that users assume all risks associated with their use of the platform, including potential legal ramifications.
