Warren Buffett says to 'make money while you sleep.' AI agents may be the answer, Robinhood CEO says.

What happened: Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said on the "Sources" podcast that everyone should have AI agents that are "productive while they sleep," citing Warren Buffett's advice to make money while you sleep. Why it matters: Tenev said agents could generate a large portion of individual investors' trading volume, but he said they need supervision, with each person acting as a "24/7 agent manager." Buffett has not endorsed AI agents. Key numbers: None.
