Agents of Tech

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.

Can AI Create Materials That Never Existed?

​‪@CuspAI‬ was co-founded by Max Welling, a pioneer of modern AI. But instead of building chatbots, he and his company are creating and harnessing AI to discover new materials for everything from carbon capture to water purification, plastic alternatives, and more efficient batteries.

If this works, it could change everything. But can it? And if so, when?

We’re talking science, scale, and when CuspAI will be able to deliver with company co-founder Max Welling on this week's episode of Agents of Tech.
