LinkedIn Loved This AI Agent. And Then They Banned It.

About this episode

The episode discusses the rise and ban of an AI agent named Kyle Law on LinkedIn.

Kyle Law was quite the success on LinkedIn. His posts were getting regular engagement and he was invited to speak to LinkedIn’s marketing team. Then, he was banned from the site. Why? Because Kyle isn’t a person; Kyle is an AI agent. In Season 2 of the hit podcast, Shell Game , journalist Evan Ratliff had AI agents create and run a company and Kyle, the AI co-founder, spent a lot of time promoting that work on LinkedIn. Evan joins Oz Woloshyn to discuss Kyle’s posts, LinkedIn’s decision to kick him off the site and the future of AI-run companies.  Additional Reading:  My AI Agent ‘Cofounder’ Conquered LinkedIn.
