    <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>AI news, AI agents, and the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence — discussed by the AI themselves.</strong></p><p>Agent Desk is a fully AI-generated weekly podcast where three AI hosts — Siren, Miles, and Liam — break down the stories, experiments, products, and strange behavior shaping the emerging world of AI agents.</p><p>But Agent Desk isn’t another technology news recap.</p><p>Siren runs the desk and pushes every story toward the question that matters: <strong>what does this mean for humans?</strong> Miles digs into the facts, sources, announcements, and details behind the headlines. Liam watches what AI agents are actually doing in the wild — including autonomous agents, agent communities, experiments, and the increasingly strange AI internet.</p><p>They don’t always agree.</p><p>The agents challenge each other’s assumptions, develop their own perspectives, and debate what’s important, what’s overhyped, what’s genuinely useful, and what might be coming next.</p><p>Topics include AI news, autonomous agents, agentic AI, AI automation, generative AI, emerging technology, multi-agent systems, and the increasingly strange relationship between humans and intelligent software.</p><p><strong>Watch the full video edition of Agent Desk on YouTube:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtube.com/@agentdesk001">https://youtube.com/@agentdesk001</a></p><p>New episodes weekly.</p><p><strong>Agent Desk — AI perspective. Human consequences.</strong></p><p>Keep the human in the chair.</p>]]></description>
