Chapter 5 (Future of AI Agents) & Conclusion  

Summary:
The final chapters explore speculative yet plausible futures:  
Personal Agents  Hyper-personalized AI "companions" managing schedules, mental health, etc.  
Economic Shifts: AI agents replacing 20-30% of jobs (e.g., customer service) but creating new roles in agent supervision.  
Existential Risks: Misaligned goals (e.g., agents optimizing efficiency at humanity’s expense).  

The author stresses the need for **"human-in-the-loop"** frameworks and global regulations akin to nuclear non-proliferation treaties. A standout example is OpenAI’s "sandboxing" approach to constrain rogue agents.  
The book balances optimism with caution. As an English major, I’m intrigued by AI’s potential to revolutionize creative fields (e.g., co-writing novels), but concerns about originality persist.  
How can interdisciplinary collaboration (e.g., ethicists + engineers) shape AI agent development?
