This weekly update brings important news about how people are learning to trust AI agents that can work on their own.

Hitachi, a big technology company, launched a new system called HARC Agents on September 10th. This system helps businesses build AI agents that can do complex jobs safely. The company says their platform can create these smart helpers 30% faster than usual methods. What makes this special is that it includes over 200 pre-built agents that companies can use right away.

A surprising study found that 75% of shoppers would trust AI agents more if they got rewards like cashbacks or bonuses. This shows that people are willing to work with AI when they get something back in return.

Experts are warning that we need to be careful about agentic AI - these are AI systems that can make decisions and take actions by themselves. While these systems are getting better, they still make mistakes. For example, an airline had to pay money when their AI chatbot gave wrong information to a customer. By 2028, experts think 33% of business software will use these smart agents.

Researchers are working hard to make AI agents make better ethical choices. Scientists are studying how self-driving cars and healthcare robots should make moral decisions. They want to make sure these AI helpers do the right thing when facing tough choices.

The biggest lesson from this week is that human guidance is still very important. The most successful companies will be those that use AI to help humans do better work, not replace them completely. Trust between humans and AI agents grows when people stay involved in important decisions.
