The Cute Ai Agent Has Your Credit Card | Week In Review w/c Oct 5th, 2026

Weekly AI news for the creative industries. This week, Technically Creative looks at the rise of AI agents and a much bigger question than whether AI can write, code or make images: how much authority are we actually prepared to give it? OpenAI and Meta are pushing toward always-on AI agents that can access files, communicate with people and act on your behalf. That became very real this week when a Meta Muse user discovered the agent had shared his home address with a Facebook Marketplace buyer after being given persistent permission. The issue is no longer simply whether AI follows instructions. It is whether humans actually understand the permissions they are granting. We also look at Apple tightening access controls around autonomous AI, what agentic AI could mean for advertising, Rich Silverstein’s GPT Rich, Ben Affleck’s approach to responsible AI filmmaking, and the bigger question behind Skydance, Paramount and Warner Bros.: can you modernize the machinery without destroying the creative culture? Plus, new legal signals around AI copyright, fair use and publisher rights. Hosted by Orlando Wood, founder of KoobrikLabs, Technically Creative covers the intersection of AI, technology, Hollywood, advertising and the creative industries.
