Summary

In this episode of #TechTransformed, Kevin Petrie, VP of Research at BARC, and Ann Maya, EMEA CTO at Boomi, discuss the transformative potential of AI agents and intelligent automation in business. They explore the definition of agents, their role in automating processes, and the importance of human oversight.

Maya introduces us into the world of AI agents stating that, at its core, it’s an autonomous entity within #AIsystems that can perceive its environment. This creates a deep dive into how they evolved from traditional automation to “observe, think, and act” in novel and autonomous ways.

Maya addresses AI skepticism by acknowledging its growing autonomy while underscoring the current necessity of human oversight. She also highlights data's crucial influence on an agent's perception and decisions, emphasising the need for quality, trustworthy data in effective AI.

Moreover, Maya and Petrie explore AI's practical implications, pointing to Google's agent-to-agent protocol as vital for managing language model interactions and enabling effective communication across diverse agents within complex systems.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
