AI Agents is the new thing to talk about

[PLACEHOLDER]
Image

Tech is evolving faster than ever in this AI era, that it feels every week there is something new to talk about, and what you learn weeks back is no longer relevant, or “that AI tools” already has gone through changes that you need to catch up with in order to stay relevant. 

Fear not, embrace the challenges and learnings, and find applications for it that are good and ethical for this present, and the hereafter. 

The new “craze” is AI agents, and for good reason!

In contrast with AI chatbots, an AI agent can execute tasks on your behalf. If you are thinking “that this could be agents that we leave running independently for many days for a group of deliveries”… Well then you are correct!

Are there risks? Should we talk about trust and accountability? The answer for both is yes. I already hinted at it a couple of paragraphs above, when I wrote “good and ethical”.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) agents are software that work autonomously, executing against complex activities (such as reasoning, using tools, etc.),  delivering on predefined and independent actions, which will augment productivity.

AI agents, benefits and challenges?

Benefits:

  1. Improved productivity (example: risk analysis)
  2. Reducing cost
  3. Informed decision-making

Challenges:

  1. Data privacy
  2. Ethical challenges
  3. Complexity. This is regarding the team skills, and the architecture required
  4. Limited compute resources

Lastly...

Steer for a talent transformation strategy (and avoiding AI fatigue)

 There was a debate on whether to feature the term “AI” in the title of this article. Honestly, a key motivation for pursuing the research that led to this post was sparked by the widespread excitement about AI appearing constantly in our LinkedIn feed, to the point of feeling the fatigue, and even a bit disappointed in the algorithm of this, and the others, social media and content curated apps.  We soon discovered that there is an entire concept called "AI fatigue", not exactly how we were feeling it, but more about the mixed emotions people in the workforce have regarding the use of AI tools. Photo by Mart Production via Pexels (background updated with AI and Adobe  tech) From micro blog posts to video podcasts, lately, most of the tech content we encounter revolves around AI. They often sound or read very similar, usually mentioning the same few top providers. The articles (and social posts... at least the popular ones with paid-campaigns behind it) tend to focus less...

Digital Sovereignty in a Polarised World - Data, Cloud Power, and the Search for Trusted Alternatives

 Relationships have deteriorated, with trust diminished to an extent that may preclude restoration. The world, once structured to favour certain regions, has undergone significant shifts; for numerous countries, such advantages never existed. In this polarised reality, stakeholders are re-evaluating alliances, as former partners now often embody the role of "frenemy," thereby threatening freedom. This phenomenon is longstanding, rooted in historical power dynamics. When politics and influence supersede principles of fairness, respect, and integrity, ethical boundaries become blurred. Previously, issues that did not directly affect you would get overlooked out of principle, but current risks necessitate action to safeguard sovereignty. Information has consistently served as a key strategic asset, a trend only intensified by technological advancements that have elevated data as the principal factor. In other words, technology has amplified that, and data is the name of the game...
