The article ends with a quote from a Google Cloud Chief Evangelist, Richard Seroter: “If you don’t have your data house in order, AI is going to be less valuable than it would be if it was…You can’t just buy six units of AI and then magically change your business.”

Gen AI applications have strong RoI in places like code, text, and media generation. But when it comes to making sense of data or using AI agents to drive critical business decisions, we should hold scepticism since these generative models still lack strong reasoning capabilities.

A Goldilocks Introduction to AI Agents: Opportunities, Challenges, and Everyday Impact

AI agents have quickly evolved from obscure technical experiments to mainstream buzz. In the last 18 months, new automation capabilities have captured the imagination of entrepreneurs and established organizations alike. While it’s possible that we’re in another AI bubble, the early adopters of AI agents are reporting impressive

Open Problems (& Opportunities) for AI: Summary Notes from the Conference

Last week I attended the Algorithmic Innovation & Entrepreneurship Summit on Open Problems for AI. That’s a bit of a mouthful but in essence, it was a 2-day conference covering the challenges and opportunities for AI over the next 5 years. Day 1 was focussed on algorithms and AI

The Software Engineer is Dead, Long Live the Software Engineer!

An undeniable killer use case for large language models is code generation. It’s already helping software developers write code up to twice as fast and with more delight. As LLM models improve with each release, they can write better software and handle more complex architectures at a fraction of

AI agents have been getting a lot of attention but they can be expensive to run. This is because they use a lot of tokens and make multiple calls to LLMs. Some AI developers have beat performance benchmarks by using exceptionally expensive agentic runs. However, this is unrealistic because in
