Meta's acquisition of Moltbook and OpenAI's integration of Sora into ChatGPT signal the official emergence of the 'Agentic Web.' This paradigm shift suggests that future digital interactions will be handled by autonomous AI agents representing human users across social, commercial, and industrial sectors. With Mind Robotics securing $500M in funding, these autonomous capabilities are also moving into physical manufacturing, raising urgent questions about data integrity and copyright in an automated world.
