00:00Agentic AI, it's the biggest buzzword in tech right now.
00:03I'm here at one of the world's largest events on AI, Computex, stepping inside a live demo
00:08on OpenClaw.
00:09The people here say you don't need to be a software engineer or a computer programmer,
00:13you just need to start building.
00:15Lobsters, not just a sea creature.
00:18This is also what open source AI agent OpenClaw has adopted as its mascot.
00:23This has led to a trend called raising lobsters, training these AI agents to act as personal
00:30assistants and perform tasks.
00:32So what exactly is OpenClaw?
00:35Unlike traditional chatbots like ChatGPT that wait for you to type a question, AI agents move
00:41on their own.
00:43They work in the background, interacting with different apps on your computer.
00:47They can help you summarize your meetings, send messages, book flights, and more.
00:51You can actually remote access your browser and do tasks for you.
00:57That's important.
00:57Think about booking your flight.
00:59Maybe find a flight from Taiwan to Hong Kong right now.
01:03Maybe you want to go to Hong Kong and the day is from June 6th to 10.
01:10Same thing.
01:11You know, talk to you like a human.
01:12Look at the browser here.
01:14It's actually going to the website, entering all the information you need.
01:20Now I'm not telling you to install OpenClaw.
01:22What I am saying is this is just the beginning.
01:24There will be more agents like this showing up in your work and life very soon.
01:28Some companies are already experimenting with the technology and working to tackle security
01:34concerns over these platforms' access to accounts, credit cards, and personal data.
01:38We've introduced a new open source project called OpenShell as a part of NemoClaw where
01:43you can write policies that are applied to your agent.
01:46So even if the agent has the skill web search or operator on a browser, you might write a
01:52policy that says never click the buy button.
01:56OpenClaw says these safeguards can reduce risks in the short term.
02:00But here's the catch.
02:01To make it a true personal AI assistant, you don't just give it tasks.
02:05You give it access to everything.
02:06So the real question becomes, how much control are you willing to give it?
