TechCrunch’s Amanda Silberling highlights Tony Fadell, the “father of the iPod,” and Designer in Residence at MIT’s Morningside Academy for Design, exploring what he learned from working with the first wave of agentic AI technology, in his presentation at the inaugural MIT Future Fest. “It took me a couple of years first to understand how best to utilize [an assistant], and then to trust them with the most sensitive data, and have them be an agent where they’re setting up meetings with people,” says Fadell. “Trust and safety are going to be paramount with anything that we turn over to some kind of intelligence.”
