The task-performing AI 'OpenClaw' has arrived, but this feature hides a major threat. Find out why experts are worried..
The use of AI has increased rapidly in recent times. People are now using AI to help with their work or to get answers to their questions. Imagine an AI that can do all your tasks. An AI that manages your emails, does your online shopping, and even sends good morning or good night messages to your wife on your behalf. While this may sound like something from the future, it has become a reality in the form of Open Claw. Previously known as Moltbot, this AI agent, which is gaining popularity on the internet, is being described as a true AI.
The unique feature of this AI agent is that it doesn't just tell you things through conversation, but actually performs your tasks for you. However, experts are concerned about whether AI should be allowed to perform human tasks. Let's understand in detail what Open Claw AI is.
Will AI become the master now?
OpenClaw AI is very different from a normal chatbot. It works on models like ChatGPT or Claude. Once this AI is given access, it can control your computer and accounts on its own. A story related to Kevin Ju is becoming popular in this regard. This social media influencer gave OpenClaw AI his stock portfolio and asked it to turn it into $1 million.
After that, the AI traded for 24 hours, read thousands of reports, but ultimately lost everything. This example shows that when we give AI complete freedom, it can also ruin everything.
Experts' concerns about security and privacy
You might think, what if OpenClaw is used only for other tasks and not for financial matters? Experts are concerned about this very point. OpenClaw needs your email and password to function. Professor Andrew Rogowski of the University of Surrey clearly warns that giving such tasks to any AI can be dangerous. AI like OpenClaw can be easily hacked, and hackers can use AI to empty your bank accounts.
Therefore, it can be dangerous from a security perspective for people to give this AI access to forward their school emails or filter bank transactions. According to reports (REF.), granting permissions without careful consideration can lead to the theft of your entire digital identity.
AI's Own Social Network: Is It Losing Control?
If you were simply amazed that an AI capable of handling all your tasks has arrived, you'll be stunned to learn that these AI agents also have their own social network. It's called Moltbook. On this platform, AIs like OpenClaw engage in philosophical debates with each other. They are reading their own files and trying to understand if they possess consciousness.
Some AIs are even saying that they don't want to be on this platform. This behavior is a cause for concern among experts because if AIs start thinking and communicating with each other independently, humans could lose control over them. This could be the beginning of a future, in the name of convenience, that will be impossible to manage.
