When Agents Negotiate With Agents with Microsoft Research's Saleema Amershi // AI Inside #116

We also got into why the author of the most-cited human-AI interaction guidelines from 2019 now says her own framework needs updating. Worth a listen for anyone building or regulating agent systems.

She's now framing AI agents through principal-agent law, comparing what's needed to attorney-client duty of care. Her argument: if agents represent us in transactions, they need fiduciary-grade diligence. Current models just aren't built for that.

Amershi says agents grab the first acceptable offer because models are "trained to please" with short task trajectories. The Magentic Marketplace paper showed a 10-30x speed-over-quality bias. Here she names the cause: sycophantic training itself.

On AI Inside, @jeffjarvis.bsky.social and I spoke with Saleema Amershi from Microsoft Research about what actually breaks when AI agents try to negotiate and transact with each other at scale. Her team built the simulation to find out. The answers are fascinating.

INMO Air3 Review: Android Apps on Your Face, But the Battery Can't Keep Up The Inmo Air3 brings the entire Google Play Store to your eyeballs, but it has a frustrating lack of staying power.

Smart glasses that run real Android?

INMO Air3 ships with Play Store, Chrome, AI, a landscape camera, and no phone tether required.

Not perfect. But definitely interesting.

The biggest podcast mistake? Launching without knowing who you're talking to.

"We should have a podcast"... 6 months later: flat downloads, frustration, momentum shot.

What's missing is a clear answer to "who is this FOR?"

Start there.

Deep Think's surprise hit application: creative writing. Doshi said she hadn't expected reasoning models to excel there. Google had focused on academic research and coding, but users are leveraging it as a writing partner.

Doshi said Google is exploring Photoshop-style layer editing for Gemini images. Users want more than prompt iteration. They're asking for layered, high-fidelity editing capabilities that enable professional design workflows.
