As AI agents become more capable and embedded in daily workflows, understanding how people interact with, rely on, and form attachments to these systems is increasingly important.
This month's webinar is hosted by our CTO, Gang Tao, and features Vlad-Mihai Iorga, Associate Director of Digital Innoation at NHS Foundation Trust and Founder of Agenticracy. Vlad will introduce his ongoing study on human and AI agent interaction, using Timeplus AgentGuard. The study will recruit 100-150 participants, each paired with an AI agent such as Hermes, OpenClaw, Gemini, Perplexity, or other agent systems. Using a custom telemetry harness, the research will capture how users engage with agents over time, including patterns of reliance, attachment, behavioral change, and interaction outcomes.
We will also explore how this real-world telemetry dataset can support agent monitoring, observability, detection, and security. Vlad and Gang will discuss why these interaction patterns matter for evaluating agent behavior, understanding user trust, and developing systems like AgentGuard that make AI agent deployments safer and more transparent.
