AI agents are not your coworkers, warns MIT Tech Review
A new MIT Technology Review article argues that companies should stop anthropomorphizing AI tools by giving them human names and roles. The piece warns that treating AI agents as colleagues can mislead employees about their capabilities and limitations. It calls for clearer communication about what these systems can and cannot do in the workplace.
