Agents of Tech

AI was supposed to make us better: faster searches, more productivity, wider knowledge. Instead, people are inundated with fake images and voices, AI-generated slop, unreliable answers, phony influencers, and a growing wave of content that looks real, but may not be.

Public sentiment is starting to shift. Young people entering the job market wonder whether AI will not only take their jobs, but also alter their ability to have a career at all. Is the conversation around AI contributing to this ever-growing crisis of distrust and misinformation? As the tide turns on AI, could public backlash against Big Tech be reaching a breaking point?

This week on Agents of Tech, we're exploring whether AI is still a productivity tool ready to revolutionize the world for the better, or if it’s creating a crisis of distrust and leading to a wave of anti-AI backlash?

Watch our new episode with hosts Autria Godfrey, Stephen Horn, and Laila Rizvi.

Public sentiment is starting to shift. Young people just entering the job market are asking whether AI will not only just take their jobs, but alter their ability to have a career altogether.

Is the conversation around AI contributing to this ever-growing crisis of distrust and misinformation? As the tide turns on AI, could public backlash against Big Tech be reaching a breaking point?

This week on Agents of Tech, we're exploring whether AI is still a productivity tool ready to revolutionize the world for the better, or if it’s creating a crisis of distrust and leading to a wave of anti-AI backlash?

Hundreds of billions of dollars are flowing into AI investment, yet our guest, Hala Hanna, Executive Director of ‪@SolveMIT‬, points out that less than 1% of AI venture funding is going to social impact.

If AI is so powerful, why is so little of that power being directed toward the people and the problems that need it the most? Can AI really be used for the public good, or is the promise of AI for good just Silicon Valley lip service?

We're talking AI, social impact, and the economics of doing good this week on Agents of Tech with hosts Autria Godfrey, Stephen Horn, and Laila Rizvi.

Watch now, and be sure to join the discussion and let us know what you think.

The current AI boom is really built on the huge scaling of LLMs, but are they getting it wrong? Alex LeBrun argues that if AI is going to understand the world, model cause and effect, and reason across time, it may need something different: world models. His new company has raised more than $1 billion to try to prove it.

In our new episode, hosts Autria Godfrey, Stephen Horn, and Laila Rizvi are talking current AI world models and the future direction of the industry with Alex LeBrun, Co-founder and CEO of Yann LeCun’s new AI company Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs).

Watch now, and be sure to join the discussion and let us know what you think about world models and LLMs in the comments.

AI at work has been sold as a productivity revolution. But Microsoft's latest Work Trend Index points to a more complicated story. Workers are using AI, companies are buying the tools, and agents are beginning to take on more of the execution – but many organizations are not yet built to capture the value.

In this episode of Agents of Tech, we’re talking the current state of AI, workplace productivity, and the rise of agents with Matt Firestone, General Manager of Frontier Function at Microsoft, who leads their work on Microsoft 365 Copilot and agents.

Dr. ‪@EricTopolSRTI‬ believes AI can predict disease decades before symptoms appear, and he's argued that AI without doctors may outperform doctors with AI. But someone has to set the rules. And right now, the people most likely to write them aren't doctors or patients, but rather insurers, tech companies, and hospital administrators.

This week on Agents of Tech we’re exploring prevention, power, and who really controls medical AI, with Dr. Eric Topol, cardiologist, bestselling author, and Founder and Director of the ‪@ScrippsResearch‬ Translational Institute.
