The Rise of the AI Agent That’s Too Powerful to Trust
When Jason Grad sent a late-night Slack message to his 20 employees at Massive, he was not warning about a cyberattack. He was warning about an AI tool that had gone viral: OpenClaw.
Across the tech industry, executives are sounding the alarm about OpenClaw — the free, open-source agentic AI tool that can take control of your computer.
The Problem with Powerful AI
OpenClaw requires basic software engineering knowledge to set up. After that, it only needs limited direction to operate autonomously. That is exactly what makes it both impressive and terrifying.
Companies Are Taking Action
- Massive: Banned OpenClaw from company hardware
- Valere: Strictly banned OpenClaw
- Meta: Told employees to keep it off work laptops
The Bottom Line
OpenClaw represents a new frontier in AI. But with great power comes great responsibility.
