United Airlines draws the line on AI agents booking your next flight
United Airlines is drawing a clear line: AI agents won't be booking your next flight. The carrier says it will not allow customers to use these tools to reserve tickets or manage itineraries. It is a direct stand against letting automation handle travel decisions. For a sense of how aggressively AI is reshaping other corners of the industry, see our coverage of Fractile securing $720M to accelerate the AI chip race. United's move feels like a deliberate pause, a human-centered choice in a fast-moving field.
A Techno-Libertarian Vision That Couldn't Age Past the Aughts
"That's a 12-year-old view of the world." It's a sharp dismissal of a techno-libertarian vision that feels frozen in the aughts. The ideas once felt bold, but today they read as naive, a relic from before we understood the complexity of data, governance, and human-centered design. We're exploring how to build tools that actually empower people, not just abstract ideals.
