  1. Agentic AI: Power, Autonomy, and the Ethics We Can't Ignore

    Agentic AI: Power, Autonomy, and the Ethics We Can't Ignore

    We’re entering an era where AI doesn’t just respond—it acts.Not just assistants, but agents. Not just tools, but decision-makers. In this episode, we dive deep into the fast-shifting terrain of agentic AI—a powerful subset of artificial intelligence capable of setting and pursuing its own goals, making decisions autonomously, and taking action in the world without constant human supervision. It’s an exciting leap forward in productivity, automation, and adaptive intelligence… but it also raises profound, sometimes uncomfortable questions. What happens when we hand over not just tasks, but intentions to machines? What new risks—ethical, economic, social—emerge when AI stops being passive and becomes proactive? We explore: The difference between general intelligent agents and agentic AI (and why that distinction matters more than ever) How agentic systems can unlock massive efficiencies—and where they might quietly cross ethical lines The tension between automation and accountability: who’s responsible when an autonomous system gets it wrong? The very real concerns around data privacy, security vulnerabilities, algorithmic bias, lack of explainability, and job displacement What regulation should (and shouldn’t) look like in a world where software can act like a stakeholder The call for global cooperation and agile governance frameworks that can keep up with the tech without stifling innovation This isn’t just a technical conversation—it’s a social one. As agentic AI becomes embedded in healthcare, finance, education, defence, and beyond, we need to decide now how we want these systems to behave, and under whose values they’ll operate. Expect sharp insights, big questions, and a sober look at the trade-offs ahead. Whether you're an AI builder, policymaker, founder, or simply someone trying to make sense of it all—this episode will leave you better informed and a little more curious. #cavefishai #artificialintelligence #ainews

    Burn Bright, Don’t Burn Out

    Welcome to Burn Bright, Don’t Burn Out—the Spotify channel created for the dreamers, the builders, and the founders who carry it all. This is your companion in the chaos, your honest check-in when the grind gets too heavy, and your reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t optional—it’s essential. Entrepreneurship is often glamorised as freedom, but we know it also comes with deep isolation, financial fear, constant decision-making, and that nagging guilt when you’re not working. This channel dives into the emotional undercurrent of running your own business—the stuff rarely shared on LinkedIn. Each episode explores the reality of entrepreneurial burnout and mental health, using stories, expert interviews, and reflective moments to unpack: What burnout really looks like (spoiler: it’s not just tiredness) The slippery symptoms: cynicism, isolation, decision fatigue, body aches The pressure to always “be fine” How to set real boundaries, delegate like a pro, and stop glorifying overwork Why support systems—coaches, mentors, mates who get it—are your secret weapon This is not about fixing everything overnight. It’s about recognising that you’re not alone, that your struggles don’t make you weak, and that sustainable success starts with not abandoning yourself in the process. You’ll hear voices from across the entrepreneurial world—tech founders, solo operators, creative hustlers, impact-led business owners—all sharing how they hit the wall, how they healed, and how they found new ways to lead without losing themselves. Because burning out isn’t a rite of passage. It’s a warning. And with the right tools and conversations, we can build businesses and lives that feel whole. New episodes drop weekly. Grab a cuppa, plug in, and exhale. You’re in good company here. #cavefishai #artificialintelligence #ainews
