00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,480
Hello, this is Eva and you're 
listening to the In Between Tech

2
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,400
and Trust podcast. 
And in this week's episode, I 

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,640
get quite exciting because we 
talk about one of the most 

4
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,640
pressing topics in the tech and 
the ice era. 

5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:33,160
And these are AI agents. 
And if I had to give it a title,

6
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:37,240
then it's like the one O 1 of 
agentic systems for 

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,600
organizations. 
And for that, I have Anthony 

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,240
Alcatraz, author of the O'Reilly
book on agentic graph rag, a 

9
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,760
senior figure of AWS pushing 
agentic AI adoption at 

10
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,360
enterprise scale. 
And he's also a business Angel 

11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,880
working with early stage 
startups that are actually 

12
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,400
building, scaling and 
incorporating layers of the AI 

13
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,440
economy. 
And so with his background and 

14
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,120
his daily operations, Anthony 
sits Anon quite unusual in 

15
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,080
between an intersection because 
he did deep enough in the 

16
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:17,600
technical architecture to write 
a book and to co-author it, but 

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,880
he's also close enough to the 
business reality to know where 

18
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,120
organizations, corporations and 
teams currently are struggling. 

19
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,720
And so in our conversation, we 
get like so knee deep into what 

20
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,120
actually changes when it becomes
more of a systems perspective 

21
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,640
and when it also starts making 
decisions and taking actions on 

22
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,240
your behalf when agents take 
over and do the research and 

23
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,960
feed it back into an 
organizational output. 

24
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,840
And so the tension that we 
looked into is that a genetic 

25
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,160
systems, if they are already, 
you know, incorporated into the 

26
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,280
organizational structures in a 
way that users cannot see them. 

27
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,080
The biggest question that we 
need to discuss is how we build 

28
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,039
trust into something that is 
invisible and that is yet to be 

29
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:17,040
defined and to be educated. 
Welcome Anthony to the In 

30
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,520
Between Tech and Trust podcast. 
Thank you for the invite. 

31
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,480
I want to start with you at the 
intersection of technology and 

32
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,720
trust, and particularly when you
think about it and from a 

33
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,520
context of the Gentek AI, but 
also from your collaboration 

34
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,200
with start-ups, what's the first
thing that comes to your mind? 

35
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,080
In term of the technology and 
trust that is to say especially 

36
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,440
for for I think currently it's a
very clear change, OK. 

37
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,920
Before we had system that were 
mostly reactive, I would say. 

38
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,560
So you, you would ask a 
question, you would get an 

39
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,040
answer. 
Now, which change considerably 

40
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,600
with agent CKI, we can't define 
agent CKI, but but system 

41
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,360
basically that's observe, reason
and act. 

42
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920
So when will you have such 
system? 

43
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:03,080
I would say the trust, you need 
much more trust than before 

44
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,000
because basically you, you are 
delegating what we used to do as

45
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,000
I mean, people human to a system
that is automated that will make

46
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,600
that, that which reason for us 
and that will take decision. 

47
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,200
So if you think about 
implementing that in regulated 

48
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,400
industries like, I don't know, 
healthcare or even legal, legal 

49
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,440
system or insurance and that it 
says you, you need to, to have 

50
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,160
a, a clear trust in what's the 
system is deciding. 

51
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,600
And I saw to put, I would say 
the human expertise that is 

52
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,600
still needed at the right place.
So it changed considerably. 

53
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,360
I would say the data governance 
I wanted and even the governance

54
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,840
I wanted. 
I think there is a problem 

55
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,320
currently because we don't have,
I would say currently there is 

56
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,080
no clear framework or governance
that has emerged to manage at 

57
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,640
large scale such system. 
I mean currently we can 

58
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,760
generate, we can like build, 
build the system, scale it. 

59
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,120
This is what we are doing at 
Entropic, open air etcetera. 

60
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,040
But I would say the governance 
infrastructure of it is not 

61
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,080
quite there. 
We, we, we struggle for example,

62
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,400
to secure the security risk 
etcetera, so. 

63
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,240
Particularly when it comes to 
building a genetic systems, you 

64
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,200
work with startups, but you also
help them scale into like 

65
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,280
environments that then also 
enable them to grow and to 

66
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,840
transition into this enterprise 
context. 

67
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,200
What fundamentally changes when 
AI shifts from a single use case

68
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,680
and maybe also in an early stage
company into a system setup that

69
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,080
then also need to be robust, 
need to be trusted and need to 

70
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,840
be able to also be, you know, as
flexible as the market evolves, 

71
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,400
but as stable as the company or 
organization requires? 

72
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Yes, yes, yes. 
So, so it's complicated, OK, 

73
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,200
frankly to to put into 
production agents. 

74
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,360
So you need to understand that 
before we, we had system that 

75
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,160
were stateless, OK. 
So basically between 

76
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,840
interaction, it didn't have to 
remember, didn't have to 

77
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,440
forcibly connect with internal 
data, etcetera. 

78
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,600
Agent 6 needs to be stateful to 
work. 

79
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,440
So you need to build a a system 
that's basically maintain 

80
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
context. 
So to maintain context, you need

81
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,000
to access a context, you need to
store it, you need to maybe 

82
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,680
classify it to understand it. 
On top of that, most of this 

83
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880
system are building up as some 
memory capabilities. 

84
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,960
So you need a memory system, you
need to manage this memory. 

85
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,880
OK, currently I will cite an 
example from Munich Cogni, for 

86
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,840
example, this it's a graph 
databases building memory system

87
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,360
for for agents. 
And this agent need also to 

88
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,600
learn from VZ. 
So basically you need to build 

89
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,960
an evaluation situation system. 
You need to make sure that the 

90
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:48,080
agent that you are putting into 
production are are performing 

91
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,560
well. 
And to build such evaluation 

92
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,640
system is still is still 
difficult. 

93
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,200
I will set you one problem with 
the complexity of evaluating 

94
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,440
agent is that agent are multi 
step. 

95
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,480
OK? 
It's not it's not only I give 

96
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,520
you an answer. 
Is it right or wrong? 

97
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,600
You have multiple dimension in 
this. 

98
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,120
You need to to to measure as it 
come with the right step. 

99
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Are these steps secure? 
Are these steps efficient? 

100
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,800
Did it consider enough source 
when he when he looked into your

101
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,160
data, internal databases, 
etcetera. 

102
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,720
So it's it's much more complex 
and This is why I think so. 

103
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,000
This is my thesis and this is 
what I'm writing about with my 

104
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,480
book in my O'Reilly agency graph
rag. 

105
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,680
I think graph architecture are 
pretty useful to manage this 

106
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,760
complexity. 
But before we like hint there 

107
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,440
and also dive a bit into the 
context of it, I want to linger 

108
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,760
with the agentic systems because
you've now explored on how the 

109
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,800
impact is in applying it. 
But when we come back to an 

110
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,280
architectural point of view, 
what is the big shift for 

111
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,640
organizations that they need to 
do, that they need to apply and 

112
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,840
that they need to evolve into 
when they wanna translate their 

113
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,560
structures into energetic flow 
or Yeah. 

114
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,560
This is big OK, because 
basically what is happening is 

115
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,160
that everything that can be 
accessed, OK is automobile. 

116
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,360
You can automate everything that
can be accessed. 

117
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,880
So enterprises need to think 
about this accessibility of our 

118
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,880
current databases, tools, 
etcetera, because everything 

119
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,840
that can be accessed, consumed 
by agent is like food for it. 

120
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,560
So basically you need to have 
like a clear strategy about what

121
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,160
does my agenting system need to 
access. 

122
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,120
So you need to build like some 
sort of gateway. 

123
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,960
For example, I know publicly 
companies like like big banks, 

124
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,080
Morgan Stanley built a huge 
gateway of all of their tool, 

125
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,960
all of their software are are 
accessible by their agents. 

126
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,520
There is a a public like an MCP 
gateway, OK. 

127
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800
And there is this concept of 
course of MCP. 

128
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,560
I think we don't need to go in 
into detail technically, but 

129
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,080
basically MCP it's like a USB 
key for for agent. 

130
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,320
That is to say it's a protocol 
that allow agents to access a 

131
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,760
certain tools or a certain piece
of software. 

132
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,920
So you can transform your 
existing software like 

133
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840
Salesforce, for example, MCP, 
Salesforce allow an agent to 

134
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280
access basically Salesforce. 
So the current opportunities, 

135
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360
the, the customer notes, 
etcetera, extra. 

136
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,480
So if you think about it at 
large scale, you need to map out

137
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,200
what are your current 
capabilities, what's your, your,

138
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,400
your, your, your user, your, 
your, your, your employee 

139
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,120
accessing their work. 
To rationalize this into I would

140
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,039
say a main gateway. 
And when you think about this, 

141
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:39,159
there is complexity because you 
need to manage your identity. 

142
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,240
Maybe when I work in a share, I 
got access to tools related to a

143
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,520
share, but I don't want my sales
agent to access this, a share 

144
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,960
tool. 
So you need to build this 

145
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,200
identity layer that is to say 
preventing agent to accessing 

146
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,440
tools that are not authorized 
for them. 

147
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,240
You have many complexity around 
it. 

148
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,080
And for example, so I don't 
speak as an AWS employee, but 

149
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,520
AWS for example, has deployed 
agent core OK, that help builder

150
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,920
build agentic system. 
And here in agent core, we have 

151
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,680
agent core identity that's 
manage this credential identity 

152
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,720
layer for for agents. 
So, yeah, to sum up is access is

153
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,200
agentic and it creates problem 
because you have many system in 

154
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,280
enterprises currently that are 
not accessible by IPI or MCP. 

155
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,920
So you have this integration 
layer that get that can get 

156
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,760
complexified by by this old 
system. 

157
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,360
And you will need to have and I 
think it's already the case and 

158
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,840
the engineering of this old 
system to be accessible by 

159
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,240
agents if you want to identify 
such processes. 

160
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,800
And interestingly, you now talk 
about this unifying or 

161
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,200
interoperability of those layers
of integrating it with a tech 

162
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,680
infrastructure that combines the
scattered use case that you 

163
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,440
currently find in heritage 
organizations, right? 

164
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,160
Yeah, I assume that this is a 
challenge, but what are the 

165
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,040
three biggest challenges that 
you currently see for 

166
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,360
organizations when they want to 
deploy a genetic systems or also

167
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,040
transition from experimenting 
with AI to fully operationalized

168
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,480
systematic collaboration? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

169
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,760
So first one that come into mind
and it's it's always the same 

170
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,320
for AI. 
OK, Well, whatever AI you you 

171
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,360
consider like machine learning 
or or no modern LLM surgency 

172
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,080
system, it is that architecture 
of fragmentation and it's data 

173
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,600
quality basically. 
One problem is that the system 

174
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,360
of record that we built for 
example, it doesn't contain and 

175
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,760
it was a recent thesis from 
Foundation Capital in the US 

176
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,640
around context graph. 
What we are saying is that in 

177
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,320
the current system of record, 
you don't have the why of the 

178
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,520
decision you have you have the 
what happened, but you don't 

179
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,880
know all such decision out such 
data was created. 

180
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,320
If you want to have autonomy 
agents that make decision, we 

181
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,600
need to access the why, the 
criteria, the factors that's 

182
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,560
that's that's allow such data to
be produced etcetera. 

183
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,040
So this is the first problem. 
Second problem is that we 

184
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:16,000
studies demonstrate that agents 
like particularly for example 

185
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,880
graph architecture, because 
graph architecture allow to 

186
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400
connect. 
So once you have an anthology, 

187
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,480
you you archive rationalize your
processes to to the facts. 

188
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,200
To have it within a graph 
architecture diminish diminish 

189
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,920
complexity to access this data. 
It's reduced for example the SQL

190
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,520
query that you would make if you
were only to use tabular a beta.

191
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,480
If you take the example of 
vector search only, the problem 

192
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,520
with vector search is that not 
everything can be retrieved with

193
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,880
only semantic similarity. 
So basically the first problem 

194
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,880
is that you need to think of 
that architecture to be agency 

195
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,760
friendly. 
And this would be my my first 

196
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,840
problem. 
The second problem is basically 

197
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,720
the governance that I mentioned 
earlier here, here there is 

198
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,240
many, many thing I, I, I would 
demonstrate the the governance 

199
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,520
problem with the security risk 
recently, so there has been an 

200
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,280
explosion of this thing called 
clobot. 

201
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,640
We know for a fact that there 
are risk reversions. 

202
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,160
For example, there is this risk 
called tool poisoning. 

203
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,360
Tool poisoning is is that if see
an agent access a tool that is 

204
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,680
online OK and that this tool 
contain for example malicious 

205
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,040
instruction that are hidden to 
human OK. 

206
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,880
This could be like instruction 
that can't be read by human. 

207
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,440
You could basically contaminate 
the agent, maybe modify his main

208
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,360
behavior and have like a Trojan 
horses, that is to say an agent 

209
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:45,320
that's send your data or modify 
your system without you notice 

210
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,760
it or access databases etcetera.
So basically agents are so 

211
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,520
powerful is that if you 
contaminate it, if you low 

212
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:57,560
external threat to act it, the 
consequences can be really big 

213
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:02,280
in terms of data exfiltration, 
data modification, ETC. 

214
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,560
So all of these governance gap 
that is to say is still 

215
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:08,120
emerging. 
So you you have a lot of startup

216
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,720
in Israel, for example, the 
Israel Israelian are the best 

217
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,240
around this security risk and in
governance I did not mention, 

218
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,520
but you have the evaluation so 
many of our of our problem. 

219
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,080
And the third because you ask 
for free is basically So coming 

220
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,840
up to your, your first point is 
a trust that is to say that is 

221
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,800
to say you need, I think to you 
need to demonstrate because the 

222
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,640
problem is that this system of 
course for sure will impact 

223
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,200
current occupation. 
I estimate myself that maybe 

224
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,160
1995% of knowledge worker job 
will be impacted. 

225
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:48,280
What will stay I think is I 
impact customer meetings this 

226
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,800
kind of stuff, but to say what 
is intrinsically human for the 

227
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,920
rest all of this, all of that is
administrative task that 

228
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,400
analysis etcetera. 
All, all of the knowledge deep, 

229
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,040
I mean the routine knowledge 
work or even the deep one, OK 

230
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,400
can either be supported or 
automated by agentic system. 

231
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,320
So you will need, I saw in term 
of change management, I think 

232
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,800
rework around the current 
processes, what people are 

233
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,040
doing, what are their roles and 
will amplify. 

234
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,160
So I am not pessimistic about 
this I think. 

235
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,120
I think this system allowed to 
intensify the work. 

236
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,560
It's allow everyone to do much 
more, not less. 

237
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,960
But interestingly, I want to 
just briefly iterate on the 

238
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,440
trust topic that you touched 
upon because connected to your 

239
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,680
second challenge that you 
pointed out. 

240
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,960
Yeah, when it comes to the 
design of them, you explain to 

241
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,800
us that they can also be 
designed for misbehavior. 

242
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:53,280
So how would we, as appliers of 
an agent that has not been 

243
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,600
deployed or built by ourselves, 
how can we trust them that they 

244
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,520
act with our best intention in 
mind? 

245
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,200
Is there anything that you could
advise us to either look for or 

246
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,200
make sure that once we apply it 
that we are prepared for the 

247
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,800
next or for the output? 
Yes. 

248
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,480
So basically there is like 
basic, I would say security 

249
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,360
tools that can be used to 
prevent, I would say most of the

250
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,960
risks. 
For example, if you take the 

251
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,200
identity one, the fact that your
agent is only allowed to access 

252
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,040
your own tools or exercise, it's
it's reduce the, I would say the

253
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,840
blast radius of of adacking 
basically. 

254
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,400
But you have like tools like for
example sandbanks sandboxing, 

255
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,640
because before your agent is 
maybe doing a query or doing a 

256
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,040
coding activity, what you can do
is to 1st sandbox it, observe 

257
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,640
what he's doing and honest is 
validated by an external system 

258
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,120
can do the actual coding. 
So there are many, I would say 

259
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,200
technologically, I think there 
will be more and more solution 

260
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,480
to prevent either the plus 
reduce of a of a problem or or 

261
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,600
even completely prevented. 
OK, I will set you an example 

262
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,520
that is this company called the 
TST, They work. 

263
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,400
They they work currently. 
So they are was a creator of of 

264
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,640
a library called outlines. 
It's it's structure output for 

265
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,280
LLMS basically. 
So it's very simple for everyone

266
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,400
because I know our listener 
won't be forcibly technical. 

267
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,840
But what it does is that it 
forces the LLM to respect 

268
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,520
certain rules, basically when 
it's watching, when it produce 

269
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,280
prediction and and output. 
So this in itself, when it is 

270
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,400
placed at sensible points of the
agentic system, prevents most of

271
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,640
the risk because you make sure 
that the agent is respecting 

272
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,480
your schema, your rules, your 
procedure. 

273
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,000
And this company, by the way, is
working on, on something very 

274
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
interesting. 
They are working basically on 

275
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,160
the control layer for agent. 
So basically with your question,

276
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:55,320
I think trust will come from the
emergence of this, this, this 

277
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,000
building up of this control 
layer for agent that I know many

278
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,960
startup are are working, working
on. 

279
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,480
But for enterprises, I mean, of 
course you need red teaming. 

280
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,520
So you need a team. 
So red teaming is 1/2 people 

281
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,560
internally that are testing for 
bad behavior. 

282
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:15,640
Basically you need to test for 
the bad usage of the agent. 

283
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,720
So to work against it basically,
of course should you need to 

284
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,119
have that in mind, you start up 
are are also proposing that to 

285
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,440
to enterprises. 
But I'm sure many enterprises 

286
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,800
that have that have a strong 
data science team or data 

287
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,840
engineering team or data 
engineer team are doing doing 

288
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,960
that by by themselves. 
Yeah. 

289
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,760
So, yeah. 
Sorry, because you just explain 

290
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,040
to us the difference between the
startups and also the enterprise

291
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,000
setup. 
And I would be interested to 

292
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,320
dive a bit into the business 
Angel aspect of yourself and 

293
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,320
also how you collaborate with 
startups at early stage. 

294
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,480
Yes. 
If we look at them from an early

295
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,120
stage perspective, what would be
a differentiator for startups 

296
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:01,680
that understand how and trust 
architecture is being set up 

297
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,960
versus those who chase like the 
hype or also the progress of AI 

298
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,360
and itself? 
I mean, the best doctor that I 

299
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:14,880
met basically first, they they 
understand very, very precisely 

300
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,320
all the current processes are 
are are working within 

301
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520
enterprises that are they're 
trying to improve or or 

302
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,800
disruptive. 
OK. 

303
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,200
So they they passed most of 
their first months or time to 

304
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,360
meet to meet basically the 
business owner of these 

305
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,080
processes. 
They speak to them. 

306
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,400
They have a clear understanding 
of all all it is going on 

307
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,200
currently within the auto 
prices. 

308
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,840
Most of the time one of the Co 
founder is coming also from 

309
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,880
these processes. 
So he has he has already a 

310
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,200
network within the auto prices 
to support his first go to 

311
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,480
market movement, this kind of 
stuff. 

312
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,160
So this is very important 
because you need to clearly 

313
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,480
understand, but what is your 
it's regulation landscape, all 

314
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,880
the processes are what will be 
the point of integration I saw 

315
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,320
about as mentioned earlier, 
maybe there will be such 

316
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,360
challenges to integrate with the
system currently put in place. 

317
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:08,280
So you need to all of this inter
standing at this background to 

318
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,080
make sure that after all you can
have a clear go to market to 

319
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,400
disrupt or improve the current 
enterprises. 

320
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,840
So I, I have example recently, I
mean, I must see this kind of 

321
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,080
start up every week. 
And when I evaluate them, I have

322
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,040
this this clearly in mind. 
It's a social angle, I would 

323
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,400
say. 
Does this start up as design 

324
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,840
partner or as access to the 
enterprises they are trying to 

325
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,640
improve all the processes they 
are trying to improve. 

326
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,240
You can't work in isolation. 
Basically, what will be valuable

327
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,320
is access to I I have this 
example of entropics Entropic 

328
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,280
recently did Nakatan and what is
funny about the Sakaton is that 

329
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,880
the third so the three guys that
were wanted were not developers,

330
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,640
they were people. 
I think it was like a doctor. 

331
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,400
So they were basically the the 
business expert and and this 

332
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,880
tells something like basically I
think the most of the creation 

333
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,080
as a value will come from 
business experts that were 

334
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,960
backward from virtual and 
processes virtual and problem 

335
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,400
that have no the mean with agent
decoding to code it. 

336
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,480
We'll cut it and we'll come up 
with a start up ID and try to 

337
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,040
describe the current way things 
are done. 

338
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,520
So basically. 
Yeah. 

339
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,720
And now I guess when we look and
also come back to your book that

340
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,280
you've written and you just 
highlighted about the entrance 

341
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,840
of startups into, you know, 
markets, but also how they 

342
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,520
approach the orchestration from 
the infrastructure layer and so 

343
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,560
on. 
In your book like Agenda Graph 

344
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,680
Rack, you explore also how it 
advanced retrieval or general 

345
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,760
orchestration architecture is 
being set up. 

346
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,080
Yeah, writing to you and also of
what you've written in the book.

347
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,440
Why is retrieval architecture so
central when you wanna build 

348
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,040
trust in AI systems? 
So basically if you have like a 

349
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,160
metaphor, LLM are just they are 
not databases. 

350
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,000
OK, LLM are used when an 
energetic framework only to 

351
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,080
reason open some data. 
So because and in most 

352
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,600
industries your data will evolve
over time, OK, if you take the 

353
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,520
legal system every month, every 
week you have like a new 

354
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,640
regulation, you have courts, 
courts that are that are doing 

355
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,400
their business. 
So you need a way for agent to 

356
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,520
access freshness in the data. 
You need a way for agents to 

357
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,640
have an infrastructure that 
allow them to reason correctly 

358
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,360
on what is happening and I found
myself by building such system. 

359
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,800
That's the best way to manage it
long term. 

360
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,640
OK is to to build it with graph 
technology basically why because

361
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,880
graph technology I lost 
something that is very powerful.

362
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
It's called the multi op 
reasoning. 

363
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,120
That is to say you can start 
with a first inquiry about I 

364
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:52,640
don't know. 
So we you have maybe so I need 

365
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,400
to find a customer of my 
customer, OK. 

366
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,200
And I want to understand the 
customer of the customer of my 

367
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,080
customer. 
This is multi op reasoning. 

368
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,560
OK. 
And you can only do that with 

369
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,880
with rough basically. 
And agents are really good at 

370
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,120
navigating and all topic has 
demonstrated with cloud cuts for

371
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:17,920
example, are really good at 
navigating this kind of multi op

372
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,120
reasoning and trace back 
basically the information. 

373
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,640
So increase the access 
accessness, the assetsness of 

374
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,320
the data. 
I mean, it has been measured 

375
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,760
currently most of the industry 
is has been has been doing a 

376
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,440
vector search, OK, and only 
vector search because basically 

377
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,080
you can use a vector such as 
over graph. 

378
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,880
OK, if you measure so you you 
put a both by comparison, there 

379
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,600
is a 30% accuracy gap between 
only using vector search by 

380
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,200
itself or using graph rag 
solution. 

381
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,440
OK, and 30% is very big. 
And then so in the book what 

382
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,600
what we explained with my core 
for what we explained with my 

383
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,240
core for is that there is also 
this self evolution self 

384
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,280
evolution layer. 
So cognitive strays on the the 

385
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,040
memory, but memory system are 
very complex, OK, because when 

386
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,160
you have memory, you need to 
have a system, but forget on 

387
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,120
Casey information, OK, you need 
to choose what to remember. 

388
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,160
You need to and make sure that 
when you remember something it 

389
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,520
is attached to an existing 
memory etcetera, extra and what 

390
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,880
most of the of the memory 
builder are doing, so there is 

391
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,480
cognitive, there is memo 
etcetera. 

392
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,040
They are using graph to do that.
OK, It's the only way. 

393
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,400
It is the only data structure 
that allowed to have such a 

394
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,000
complex external memory to 
achieve this. 

395
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,800
This basically. 
And in the industry we talk a 

396
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:49,840
lot about reducing hallucination
or so you know, being precise on

397
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:55,040
the output and very accurate on 
like the explainability of the 

398
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,040
output itself. 
What role does graph based 

399
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,160
reasoning play in? 
Yes, yes, yes. 

400
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,640
So it's really good because yes,
so you, you increase the 

401
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,240
accuracy of the of the 
retrieval. 

402
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:09,560
But if you think logically, even
if you retrieve correctly, maybe

403
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:15,360
the LLM will interpret it 
wrongly or do approximation or 

404
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,520
over interpretation, etcetera. 
But what is great is that 

405
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,240
currently technically you can 
make sure that the LLM of the 

406
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,760
agents will respect the ontology
of the, I would say the semantic

407
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,480
layer of the graph that has been
built. 

408
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,320
So what I am seeing emerging, 
and This is why I'm writing this

409
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,720
book, is that the control layer 
for agents we come mostly and 

410
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,640
from a concrete and organized 
ontology and graph and to be 

411
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,840
sure that the agent that is 
interpreting it or using it is 

412
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,360
respecting it. 
OK at the token level. 

413
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,520
That's to say, currently the 
problem is that LLM are black 

414
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,400
box. 
But if you retrieve correctly 

415
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,920
from the graph, you no, no 
thanks to the possibility of the

416
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,560
graph. 
And I mean, it is symbolic. 

417
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,840
So you know which, which nodes 
has been queried. 

418
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,360
So it is part of the graph that 
is related to the concept X 

419
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:08,840
star. 
So you can have a layer of 

420
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,040
explainability thanks to this 
graph. 

421
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,520
So you, you get it from SQL 
research. 

422
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,600
OK, but it's less less efficient
and, and, and let's, let's, 

423
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,760
let's powerful relevant graph, 
but you don't get it with vector

424
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,280
set. 
So basically it's increase. 

425
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,760
I saw the explain ability of it 
increase the traceability of the

426
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,240
reasoning chain and the 
explainability of the of the 

427
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,880
graph. 
You know, while you're speaking 

428
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,920
and while I appreciate if we 
have this hands down very deep 

429
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,760
technical conversation right 
now, I'm just like, I, I'm so 

430
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,680
humbled of all the experience. 
And at the same time, I'm 

431
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,360
currently like, I'm asking 
myself how much of the knowledge

432
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:48,840
that we just discussed and also,
you know, translate into how 

433
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,560
it's applied and where it's also
brought into the organization. 

434
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,320
How do we ensure that people 
within organizations feel 

435
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,680
empowered to understand of what 
we're actually talking about and

436
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,920
how they also can shape it? 
Because in my concern that I 

437
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,200
have is that within organization
says currently this friction 

438
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,560
between people using 
infrastructure technology to do 

439
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,920
their job and IT departments are
like experts that are dedicated 

440
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,840
to provided. 
However, with AI and the genetic

441
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,680
systems, we all come empowered 
to use do apply and develop the 

442
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,320
infrastructure of how we want to
work with it ourselves. 

443
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,400
But a lot of employees do not 
yet have the knowledge of how to

444
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,800
do it. 
So they also ask, you know, the 

445
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,920
experts in the organization to 
provide them with the respective

446
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,360
infrastructure, which is like a 
huge gap that's currently not 

447
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:46,080
being moderated or also no 
solved. 

448
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:49,840
And so I will be interested in 
first, what's your take on how 

449
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,880
deep of a knowledge to employees
going forward need to have an 

450
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,560
order for them to apply it and 
how to second solve this? 

451
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,720
I don't want to call it limbo, 
but at least I want to call it 

452
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,800
responsibility loop that is not 
solved yet. 

453
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,440
I think it's key, OK, what you 
are saying, I won't pretend to 

454
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,120
have a clear solution. 
It's a clear problem, OK? 

455
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,800
And it is even worse when you 
are considering that the fact 

456
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,280
that people that are not 
technical but have the business,

457
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,200
business knowledge and the 
business insight will be going 

458
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,160
forward, the more valuable. 
Because basically you need this 

459
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,240
business knowledge to create 
powerful agentic system and and 

460
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,280
the tech guys won't be able to 
create it without them. 

461
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,480
So basically what you are saying
this limbo as you call it, you 

462
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,160
need to solve this to create 
powerful with the sprayed 

463
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,640
agentic system all over the 
across the organization. 

464
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,480
So one advice I would have, so 
there's been this theme with the

465
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,680
industry around forward deploy 
engineer. 

466
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,840
What are forward deploy 
engineer? 

467
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,160
They are engineer that are 
embedded within the business 

468
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,680
teams to understand what they 
are doing and to create a 

469
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,480
genetic system on top of it. 
I think this I would say 

470
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,760
intellectual framework to put 
tech guys within business units,

471
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,960
so sales guys, marketing guys, 
whatever to understand what they

472
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,240
are doing, maybe educate them, 
unpower them, OK, when why they 

473
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,400
are doing so is a very powerful 
idea. 

474
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,160
And I think it's This is why 
open AI, Entropic and all of 

475
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,960
these guys are basically are 
basically building up and 

476
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,520
scaling such, such such system. 
It has been the first deployed 

477
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,160
by Patanti, but it's a right now
it's it is, it is more and more 

478
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,680
we desperate. 
But what is changing now there 

479
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,840
has been the release of cloud 
cohort by Entropic. 

480
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,520
What people need to understand 
is that agentic coding, so 

481
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,520
agents that allow you to code 
are accessible by anyone 

482
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,720
basically because because they 
are coding, you don't need to 

483
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,040
know I would say. 
I would say the art of coding 

484
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,960
will disappear, but what will 
stay is system design. 

485
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Basically, you need to have a 
clear sense of what you are 

486
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,640
doing basically to, to make make
the the best out of it. 

487
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,360
Myself, for example, on my 
personal usage, I must have, I 

488
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,720
don't know, daily, I must have a
50 agent that are working for me

489
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,800
to code what I want. 
OK, I don't code anymore, but I 

490
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,040
understand what I'm doing. 
I, I can catch errors, I can 

491
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,040
Orient, reorient, I can come up 
with better ideas. 

492
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,480
So it is a mixture between me 
and the agents. 

493
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,560
And I think we need to educate, 
we need to arm power people to 

494
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,320
leverage this technology. 
Because what I am observing here

495
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,280
on the field is that this 
combination of human plus agent 

496
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,680
or coding agent, it creates 5050
time your productivity 

497
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,480
basically, if not more so. 
So basically we need a clearer 

498
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,680
organization. 
We need to have a clear program 

499
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,360
of empowerment. 
Once we have the basis, that is 

500
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,600
to say the basis is, is what we 
mentioned earlier, you need to 

501
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,880
access. 
So you need to create gateway 

502
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,200
for the agents to work on your 
data to work on your. 

503
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,680
Once you have that, we will need
to empower people to use it at 

504
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,640
large scale. 
And this is by the way. 

505
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,560
So what I'm saying is this is 
what I'm doing, OK? 

506
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,680
I'm pushing for agentic 
solution, a really structural 1 

507
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,080
and I try, I'm trying to empower
people because what people need 

508
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,840
to understand is that this 
modernization is impacting 

509
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,640
everyone, OK? 
There is no, not in the world 

510
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,960
maybe except at entropic 
organization that I'm using it 

511
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,000
at large scale. 
So yeah, so it will transform. 

512
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,360
I don't want to be a prophet, 
but the way we know our 

513
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,800
workplace, so how we are doing 
business will change 

514
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,360
considerably in the coming 
months. 

515
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,480
OK. 
And not leaning into the profit 

516
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,400
side of it too much, but still 
looking in the future, yeah. 

517
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,280
What does enterprise AI look 
like for you in 2020, let's say 

518
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,240
8 or 9? 
I mean, whatever long you want 

519
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,480
to look into the future and how 
do we transition into this multi

520
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,120
agent ecosystem, organization, 
collaboration, what do you want 

521
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,040
to call it? 
And also how specific, like how 

522
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,800
would you envision of how being 
productive would look like in 

523
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,520
that? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

524
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,200
So I will give you an image. 
I think most people will do what

525
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,120
I'm doing OK every morning you 
will have like a set of outcome 

526
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,040
coming from your agent because 
my agent are working by night. 

527
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,880
That's all OK. 
It's, it's practical and 

528
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,360
basically all of day long you 
will switch between high impact 

529
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,280
customer meetings because we, 
we, we will, it will stay OK as 

530
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,040
a fact of going to town, having 
a nice lunch with your high 

531
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,080
profile customer, etcetera. 
But what would be cool is that 

532
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,960
everything that is around such 
high impact meetings will be 

533
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,560
managed by agents. 
So before this meeting, I will 

534
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,920
have prepped my meeting, your 
customer meeting with all the 

535
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,680
data that I need. 
After the meeting, everything 

536
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,400
that is around follow-ups, 
connecting with design partner, 

537
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,240
connecting internally or 
externally will be managed by 

538
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,000
agents, Gatner says. 
So I, I, I fetched up of course 

539
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,720
for this podcast, they said that
50% of work decisions will be 

540
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,560
made autonomously by agency Ki 
by 2028. 

541
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,240
I think there is one condition 
is a governance layer is secure 

542
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,800
and we have security etcetera 
that this number is will be 

543
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,880
considerably more and maybe 50%.
But would that end up in agents 

544
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,200
talking to agents? 
Because if we would now have 

545
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,080
lunch, let's say in Munich or 
your hometown Paris. 

546
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,760
And then we met up, we had this 
great conversation and then each

547
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:28,200
of us, you know, returns to or 
the Skype translate it anyways. 

548
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,880
And then my agent would send 
your agent a follow up of the 

549
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,240
conversation and your agent 
would answer or what? 

550
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,720
How would that look like? 
Of course, I mean, yeah, if I 

551
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,840
it's already happening, OK, I 
can't I can't speak about the 

552
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,520
detail, but myself I already 
built system where yes, of 

553
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,960
course everything that is follow
up understanding you like like 

554
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,680
following the state, OK and 
updating the state, it's managed

555
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,080
by agents. 
So of course, I think everything

556
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,480
that is related to schedule, 
everything that is related to 

557
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,920
updating the schedule maybe with
new data or coordinating an 

558
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,200
event. 
For example, recently I work on 

559
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,400
such system, that is to say, 
maybe matching people with with 

560
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,320
an event, event during an event 
you have multiple meetings, 

561
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,320
multiple schedule and you want 
to perfectly personalized the 

562
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,240
invite to the people you want to
invite to what is happening 

563
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,120
during the event. 
All of this can be managed by 

564
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,640
agent. 
So yeah, and more books we have,

565
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,040
we had recently an experiment 
which is called the MUD. 

566
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,320
So there has been a lot of fuse 
around it. 

567
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,400
That is to say it's a social 
network for agent etcetera. 

568
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120
A lot of so a false promise. 
That is to say most of his 

569
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,880
agents were prompted to do this.
OK about the end of the world or

570
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,520
we will take over extra. 
So it was funny, OK to watch. 

571
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,400
But what's demonstrate is that 
you can of course have like it's

572
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,360
an event based system. 
That is to say an agent is is 

573
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,040
like subscribed to the to a flow
of event and react to the change

574
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,680
of this event. 
So you can think all of the 

575
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,040
enterprises system around this. 
That is to say myself, what I I 

576
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,560
do normally is what I would 
follow my e-mail and react to 

577
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,400
the e-mail I received by 
checking up the databases. 

578
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,360
The news can do that perfectly. 
So basically takes the example 

579
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,600
of emails and following up 
e-mail. 

580
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,159
Currently, that's the future. 
Currently all of this stuff can 

581
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:20,600
be automated. 
Once we stay, I think we will 

582
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,040
have an explosion of software, 
OK, basically an explosion of ID

583
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,199
and an explosion of execution of
those IDs. 

584
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,360
Because what's what's this 
technology empower people is to 

585
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,159
directly go from IDs to 
execution. 

586
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,000
So what will happen I think is 
an explosion of of personalized 

587
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,000
software, OK, that's a fit to 
your use cases, fit to your 

588
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,960
problems, adapt to your 
situation, etcetera, etcetera. 

589
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,000
If that's the case, doesn't then
also the human side of the 

590
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,080
connection and interaction 
become even more valuable and 

591
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,320
also more appreciated? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

592
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,040
I think, I think what will stay 
is this is I impact, I impact 

593
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,520
customer meeting or I impact 
partner meetings, but these 

594
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,000
meetings will be so empowered. 
This meeting will will be like 

595
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,400
the the last step of of a 
process where we will have 

596
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,000
everything to decide or or do 
business or exactly. 

597
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,680
So I think this technology will 
basically arm power to have much

598
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,040
more quality time gathering with
people like Star star. 

599
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,040
I don't navigate anymore on 
Internet. 

600
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,600
OK, So people will will find it 
funny. 

601
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,200
It's the only thing that I 
navigate are social media. 

602
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,480
OK, because you can scrap it. 
You can't scrap it at large 

603
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,480
scale, but everything that is 
related to website YouTube news,

604
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,480
everything can be analysed by 
agents and and everyday I 

605
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,040
received like a newsletter of 
what I need to understand what I

606
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,840
need baby to to look up. 
I have synthesis across 

607
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,760
analysis, etcetera. 
All of this time it is gain is 

608
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,560
gain on on on on on being being 
more outdoor meeting people, 

609
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,440
meeting customer extra. 
OK, so I think this 

610
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,840
paradoxically and this is my 
optimistic vision, this 

611
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,440
technology will allow to get 
more human less, less time, less

612
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,320
time spent on front of a screen 
and most time spent with real 

613
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,640
human interaction where you 
create a trust where where you 

614
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,440
haven't saw all of this. 
I would say I'm that sick 

615
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:24,440
understanding everything that AI
can do currently and I hope I 

616
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,960
hope won't be as powerful as us,
because I think it will be 

617
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,360
really, really complicate to 
automate what we get. 

618
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,280
The intuition, the personal 
feeling, the energy feeling 

619
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,000
everything. 
All of this stuff is very would 

620
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,480
be really really located for 
the. 

621
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,800
Neuroscience side of. 
It exactly. 

622
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,280
Since we're now come at the end 
of our of our episode, I do want

623
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,160
to like jump into some in 
between moments that I want to 

624
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,760
have. 
And the first one that I put 

625
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,920
towards you is what does Gentek 
AI feel like to you? 

626
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,440
It's funny because so when I was
a kid, I used to play a game 

627
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,000
called StarCraft. 
So it's, it's really geeky. 

628
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,360
But basically it's a game where 
you are commander and you 

629
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,400
basically you lead units to 
gather resources to attacks the 

630
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,800
opponent, etcetera. 
An agent TKI is like this, OK? 

631
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,280
You have like units are 
managing, you are managing your 

632
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,520
workforce basically, and you are
managing your workforce maybe of

633
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:24,240
5040 agents. 
So it's it's it's required from 

634
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,400
you strategic thinking, some 
sort of management, also 

635
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,720
organization, etcetera. 
It's feel like this, but it's 

636
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:31,520
feel like a game. 
But it's very fun, OK? 

637
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,040
And what does trust in 
enterprise system require? 

638
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,920
I think transparent failure 
mods, yes, I think basically you

639
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,200
need to have a transparency of 
what is happening and what it 

640
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,440
fail. 
You need to precisely understand

641
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,680
why. 
And what is the biggest risk for

642
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,120
enterprises? 
I will be provocative but 

643
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,480
staying at the current stage 
where you only have human in the

644
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,840
loop and calling it 
transformation. 

645
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,960
And what? 
What should start-ups stop 

646
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,680
doing? 
Building technology in search of

647
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,720
a problem. 
Start by with a problem. 

648
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,680
Well, thank you for pushing 
ideas and boundaries and also 

649
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,200
moving us into the future. 
Thank you. 

650
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:14,400
I appreciate the conversation 
and all the insights that you 

651
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:14,960
share. 
Thank you. 

652
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:15,440
Thank you, Eva.
