Plus: California Pushes AI Kill Switch, KPN Builds Agents for Customer Calls

Good Morning, Agent Owners!

The agent can still lose the plot halfway through a workflow. Millions of people are using it before breakfast anyway.


Daily AI Use Surges in U.S.

TL;DR: Epoch AI and Ipsos surveys suggest a strong shift toward habitual AI use in the U.S.: the share of adults using AI at least six days a week rose from 8% in March to 19% in August, while once-a-week use fell.

California Pushes AI Kill Switch

TL;DR: California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered a two-month expert review to strengthen the state’s AI safety rules, including proposals for onsite independent auditors, verified safety reports and an emergency “kill switch” for frontier models.

Commerce Agents Still Break on Complexity

TL;DR: Alibaba.com tested 13 AI model families, including GPT-5.6 Sol on 107 real merchant tasks and found even the best, Claude Opus 5, completed only 61.7%. Agents struggled most with long, multi-step work such as landed-cost calculations, disputes and shipping routes. Results also varied by harness, showing commerce agents are useful today but still unreliable when workflows require sustained context and execution. Read more →

KPN aims for AI to handle 10%–20% of calls by 2027 while humans focus on complex cases. Read more →


Huang Rejects AI Doomsday Warnings

TL;DR: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says there is “0% chance” AI ends the world by 2030, calling extinction warnings irresponsible and unsupported by science. He argues existing liability and cybersecurity laws are sufficient, rejects a development slowdown, and says companies should move as fast as possible while withholding unsafe products. Huang also backs global competition, including serving China outside national-security limits. Read more →


Hilton Internships Get AI Crowded

TL;DR: Hilton says 12,000 candidates applied for just 72 internships in 2026, while its Launch program drew 5,000 applicants for 20 spots. CHRO Laura Fuentes says AI makes it easier for candidates to tailor and submit applications, swelling recruiter pipelines and intensifying competition. She argues applicants should be more selective and show authentic interest rather than mass-apply. Read more →


China’s One-Person Startups Surge

TL;DR: The Wall Street Journal reports a boom in one-person AI startups across China as young workers flee burnout, layoffs and a weak job market. More than 7 million solo businesses were created in 2025, up 42%.
