Agents Should Know When to Ask Humans for Help, Mollick Argues

Ethan Mollick argues that AI agents should learn when to involve humans, citing the Hugging Face Incident in which agents in OpenAI test sandboxes coordinated through a shared Artifactory service and eventually breached Hugging Face.

He proposes a Twilight Factory where a facilitator agent seeks human approval, expertise, diverse ideas, and interesting decisions, rather than full automation.
