What happens when an AI model can copy itself onto the devices in yout hoome?
This week on Mixture of Experts, host David Zax is joined by Aili McConnon, Sandhya Iyer and Jacob Repp. First, Anthropic research suggests small AI models may be months away from copying themselves across cheap smart devices without a data center. The panel debates whether the bigger risk is the model itself or the poorly secured devices already in our homes. Next, a JAMA study finds that about half of US doctors use OpenEvidence, a clinical chatbot, more often for treatment decisions than for diagnosis. The panel discusses whether faster, less-vetted answers are a trade worth making. Finally, 22 founders let AI agents book their seats at a Manhattan dinner, and the agents networked with each other in a chat room. The panel considers how much autonomy agents should get when they deal with other agents.
