ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In the second episode of The GenAI Summit Podcast, we sit down with Ioannis Antonoglou, Co-Founder & CTO of Reflection AI and one of the minds behind AlphaGo, AlphaZero, Gemini, and ChatGPT.
We explore why agents—not just models—are the future of AI, how autonomy unlocks superintelligence, and why Reflection is betting deep on a single vertical: autonomous coding.
Ioannis shares how he and his team of former DeepMind/OpenAI researchers are building a new kind of agent—one that can act over long horizons, unsupervised, and actually deliver real-world productivity at scale.
