00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:28.399
Hello, welcome to the next episode of DVD's Tech Unboxed, where we chat about some of the hottest topics in technology at the moment.
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:35.520
Today on our couch, we have the incredible, well, on our chairs, we have the incredible brains of Hala and Rosal.
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:36.079
Welcome.
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:37.119
Thank you for joining us.
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:37.759
Thank you.
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:38.719
Happy to be here.
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:39.600
Hey.
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.679
So today we're going to be chatting about AI and RAG and agentic AI and all of that exciting things.
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.159
Can you first please tell us what kind of qualifies you guys to be talking about this?
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.560
Honestly, I feel like there are so many people qualified to talk about AI these days.
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:06.719
But I have worked on a couple of LLM projects, building out chatbots, internal teams, as well as for banks, which I'm not allowed to name, nameless banks.
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.079
So mostly my experience.
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:09.760
Yes.
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.560
Yes.
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:18.480
Mostly my experiences with mostly my experiences with LLMs and in general just data processing.
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:19.200
Awesome.
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.560
And Rosal, yourself?
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.159
Um similar to you.
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.640
I've worked on quite a few POCs in the generative AI space.
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.120
We also both attend a lot of conferences together.
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.280
So we're both very interested in the space.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.879
So I think that's the most important thing.
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:45.840
Can you guys tell me what are some of the biggest misconceptions that you're hearing today about AI, about RAG, about um agentic AI, specifically in data-rich environments?
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:52.079
I think I think there's been a lot of hype now.
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.079
I think it started with generative AI, and now agentic AI has taken the scene.
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.239
I think a big misconception is that we need agentic AI to solve all our problems.
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.319
A lot of the time, most of the issues that you have are quite simple in the generative AI space.
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.360
You just need RAG or a simple LLM prompt.
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.879
You don't need these very intense agentic systems that have multi-steps and that are also very expensive.
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:16.719
Yeah, I agree with that.
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:27.039
I think a lot of discussion happens in the tech field about solving a solution rather than solving for a problem, if that makes sense.
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.159
People want to use agentic because it's a buzzword.
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.080
I know we talk about buzzwords all the
Load full transcript
time in tech, but agentic AI is a huge buzzword right now.
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:44.400
And like Russell said, it's just becoming this very uh processing heavy thing that people want to use agentic AI.
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.479
Even RAG, sometimes it's unnecessary.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.159
You can go for the lower level.
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:49.120
Just a prompt.
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.159
Yeah, just just a prompt.
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.039
Prompt engineering.
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.759
Yeah, you don't always need to be using an LLM even.
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.599
Uh, but it's fine.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.759
It's the the hype will pass.
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.199
Will calm down, maybe.
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:13.039
For yourselves as software engineers, um, how is the role of software engineering changing as GNAI and smarter IDEs become more commonplace in sort of the everyday toolbox?
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.919
You're finding a lot of vibe coding.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:25.439
I know we talk about vibe coding as all a lot, but you can see that people are struggling to understand their own code anymore because it's just being generated for them.
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:34.639
With IDEs, sometimes through uh LLMs like Gemini or Chat GPT, people will feed it a problem and have it solve for that problem.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:48.400
And then the code that is generated is so specific to how you describe that problem that once you need to tweak it or make it more general, firstly the person who needs to tweak it doesn't know what's happening with the code, so they might mess it up there.
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:56.639
But otherwise, it might immediately fall over as soon as one of the parameters you entered shifts slightly due to business requirements.
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:02.960
How does that impact continuity of systems going forward, especially for like enterprise organizations?
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:15.919
Well, what it's going to mean, and I think we all agree, is that uh the developers that are supposed to be maintaining systems and stuff, they're going to really, really struggle to it's going to become slower, right?
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:22.480
Right now it's the fastest paradigm to shove some prompts into an LLM and then hope for a good answer back.
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:31.040
And then you can apply that code, but eventually it's going to become slower because now you have to understand code that you didn't understand to begin with, and then you're going to have to add more code to it.
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.240
And probably if you vibe coded the first solution, you're going to vibe code on and on and on.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:42.000
And it's going to become this mess of uh junk, basically.
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.399
I think I would actually counter you on that.
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.399
So I think I like that.
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.639
You know, I love to counter you a lot.
00:04:49.279
--> 00:04:55.680
Um although vibe coding can be quite dangerous, it's also a tool for software developers.
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.759
It's allowed us to learn a lot faster.
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.920
It's allowed us to push into different areas of tech that we haven't used before.
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:11.519
So if done correctly, it will actually speed up your development and allow you to be a lot more autonomous, which is where I think the software industry is kind of going now.
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:19.040
We're moving away from very siloed roles where people are either a software developer or a back-end developer.
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.040
And now we're having to become a lot more autonomous.
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:26.879
You have to maintain the entire system, you have to build the entire system, you have to kind of handle business requirements.
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:32.800
You're expected to be more of an engineer or an architect rather than just one role, which is which is exciting.
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.639
No, I 100% agree.
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:41.199
Um, I think it's always easy to slip into the dangers of AI and how they're they're going to ruin your life.
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:46.240
But even I, it's it's interesting we're having this conversation now because we've had this conversation before.
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.839
And I'd say two months ago, I was asked at some point if I use uh generative AI when I code.
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.600
And I at that time I didn't use generative AI.
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:03.040
But I found that I needed to uh join a new tech stack, basically.
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.120
I've need to needed to learn new languages and a new framework.
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:16.800
And I did find that I went and I asked, I explained the problem, and I was like, what type of solution does this framework lend itself to with this problem?
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:24.000
And I will say I've like, it's much faster than when I used to have to go watch 10,000 tutorials, stack overflow questions.
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:34.319
And I feel like I understand it much better because there's someone there explaining my explaining a solution to a problem as it's being generated, if that makes sense.
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:41.199
You're also able to ask the question immediately and that removes the fear of going to your techie or going and searching.
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.360
You just ask a generative AI agent, like this is this is my issue, how do you solve it?
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:53.040
Yeah, and it and we did mention as well at the time that we would have to, you would have to be more adaptable, basically.
00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:02.319
You need to be more focused on how to solution problems, the most efficient way to solve a problem, not what language you're going to be solving in it, what framework you're going to be solving.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:12.639
But I suppose the most efficient, but also
making sure that it is supportable and reliable and will stand, you withstand whatever pressures that system's going to be putting on it.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:23.199
And just jumping back to the to the risks that you mentioned earlier, do you think that there are different risks at for you as an engineer at different stages of your career when using these tools?
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.639
Rosal, do you want to take this one?
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:25.519
Definitely.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.600
So I think, like we said, it's a tool, you need to know how to use it well.
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:44.560
If you're not someone who's able to realize what your role is in generative AI and what the role of generative AI is, it will become a problem because then you are just going to rely on the code being generated without understanding it.
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.680
And I see that a lot with graduates now.
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.160
I'd ask them a question, I'd be like, why did you do this?
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:51.600
I know it's completely wrong.
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.639
They're like, I don't know, I used AI to help me.
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.399
That is not how we expect people to use AI.
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:03.120
You need to use it, but you need to help kind of understand where and why you're doing it.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.360
And if you don't, use it to understand.
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.759
Ask why you're doing this, why you're not doing this.
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.680
You on your own, do your own research and decide what is the best approach.
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.040
Um so you kind of need to know enough to vet it, or if not, make sure that you're asking the right questions.
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:22.319
I don't think you should be using it just to do all your research, your designing, your implementation.
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.879
Do your research on your own and use this as a check.
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.319
Or as like a buddy.
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:27.439
It should be your buddy.
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.360
Rubber duck level two.
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.519
You know, I I 100% agree.
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:32.320
No, yeah.
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:37.519
Hannah, jumping onto you mentioned data once or twice already.
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.480
Why do so many organizations think more data is better?
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:47.600
And what's a better approach that they should be taking or could be taking?
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:58.159
You know what, there is kind of this narrative, and this is from the conferences that we've attended as well, that if you have data sitting somewhere, why is it sitting there and how can you be using it?
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.960
And I think that's a good thought process to have.
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:08.320
But what you also need to be thinking about is should we be using our data to train a model?
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.279
Is that really what we need to
be using our data for?
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.000
And how do we need to structure our data?
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.120
Because that's becoming so important in this space.
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:29.840
One of the biggest things when when we develop a POC or when we develop a fully fledged chatbot is looking at your data first and seeing how it needs to be structured for your specific model to understand it.
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.240
Do you need to retrain your model on your data?
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.360
Or does your date the structure of your data need to change?
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:49.519
And I think there's this big misconception that any type of data can be like whoop and then thrown into an LLM, and then that LLM will be able to reason and understand that data, but the it's it that's just not how it works.
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:55.679
And I think the big message that I just want to say here is data analysts are important.
00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:05.919
You need people to look at your data and understand what's happening there before you decide that you can feed it into a bot, before you can decide the application for the data.
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:11.679
It's not really good enough to know what data you're collecting.
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.559
Because a lot of the time it's unstructured data, a lot of the time it's bad data.
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.480
It's not correct, it's nonsense, gobble gook, especially in the case of like audio transcripts or anything like that.
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.480
How good is your transcription software?
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.559
Do you need especially in like the African context?
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.120
Yes.
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.440
How much processing are you going to have to do on that data beforehand?
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.840
And if you're going to ask me next, should you be processing your data?
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.399
Almost 100% yes, depending on the data.
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:39.519
Sometimes it's really nice.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.759
It's like a SQL table where you're just collecting names and fields, which is lovely.
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:44.879
But almost never.
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:49.200
I've never had a never had someone come to the come to me with that problem.
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:54.480
So the the if the question is, is garbage in, garbage out, it's that's still true, right?
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:59.120
LLMs haven't solved the problem of uh bad data.
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.600
How does RAG change this conversation around data?
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.159
Or does it change this conversation around data?
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.679
Definitely not, not at all.
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.720
You still need really good data for RAG.
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.720
Garbage in, garbage out.
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.480
Um, I think with RAG, people, it is very useful.
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:17.519
It's a great context.
00:11:17.600
--> 00:11:23.360
So RAG is where we yeah, maybe we should give them some introduction.
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:35.440
So RAG is retrieval augmented generation, and it's a very popular business use case that people are now using where you augment LLMs with extra documentation that you now feed it.
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:46.480
So the perks of it is that your LLM is now grounded, you're not going to have hallucinations as much, and you're able to personalize the answers that you're getting from your LLMs with very specific data.
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:56.960
Um, regarding the data of that, if you the process in which you do retrieval augmented generation really requires the data to be good.
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:12.080
Because if it is not good and it can't find the relevant answer from your data, if you have not prompted it correctly and put the right steps in place, it will either hallucinate with no source or find a source but still hallucinate, or say I don't know.
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:14.480
So it's still gonna be an irrelevant answer.
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:23.039
Um, yeah, the ways in which you have to tune your data and structure it is very dependent on the use case, but still very much an important rule.
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.399
Interesting, that's really cool.
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:31.840
I feel like, sorry, just to chip in there, I feel like what's happened for me is RAG has almost highlighted this garbage in garbage in.
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:32.720
100%.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:44.879
Yeah, because it becomes ever so much more frustrating when a user comes to you after you've made this POC with RAG and they say, this answer is wrong, like your model is wrong, right?
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:56.639
And then you look at the answer, you look at what it used to answer the question, and it's it's done everything correctly, but you can see that the data that was provided had an inaccurate answer or an out-of-date answer.
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:09.360
And that's a big issue, especially out of keeping RAG up to date has been a very interesting challenge in terms of the methods that you use to describe this data to your model, right?
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.360
You have to re-describe it every single time it gets updated.
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.279
So that's that's very interesting.
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:16.399
Very cool.
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:22.399
Um, switching to maybe I suppose RAG isn't so unknown anymore, but agentic AI.
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:27.360
I think for a large part of the population, agentic AI is is this unknown concept.
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.559
What is it?
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:30.639
I think Rosal should take away.
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.320
Oh, I actually just did something cool.
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.399
Um, so agentic AI, how it differs from generative AI.
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.840
Generative AI is using these large language models to generate content.
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:48.240
Agentic AI
is making use of well-crafted or designed models that have better reasoning, better classification.
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:54.240
So they're just like a little bit smarter to solve very specific problems and specific tasks.
00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:01.840
So the key difference here is generative AI will generate in a very creative way, whereas agentic AI is meant to be more autonomous at solving problems.
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.000
So we're kind of giving it a little bit more intelligence.
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.279
So it's thinking for itself.
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.799
Yes, the idea is that it would try to think for itself.
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:20.000
Obviously, it does not fully think for itself, and a lot of the time the agentic systems that you come up with are not very smart, but that's the the main difference.
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.279
So basically, it's step one into AI's world domination.
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:25.279
It's step one into AGI.
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:27.120
Yeah, yeah, that's very true.
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.679
That's very true.
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.200
I will say it's almost like what you're doing right now.
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:38.080
You know, people, someone told you that you need to do this, you know that you needed to ask Russell about agentic AI, right?
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:50.320
So you've got one main per main interface, and then this interface knows that I need to talk to Russell about agentic AI, and to Hala about data, and I need to talk to Matthew about sound quality, you know.
00:14:50.799 --> 00:15:00.159
And that's I feel like a good high-level Yeah, you're given the high-level instructions and the way in which the agent will take the path of doing it is up to the agent.
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.279
So the agents are very good at one specific thing.
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:10.080
Um, but if you asked uh Hala to go do gymnastics for you, that would not go super well.
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.879
So maybe this main agent would be pretty good at doing gymnastics.
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:17.679
Like, all right, but like mess up every now and then.
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:21.120
But then gymnastics agent over here is just the best.
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.000
It's the Simone Biles of gymnastics, you know.
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:34.320
So basically, for for the non-techies watching, it's creating it's it's almost like you're building subject matter experts who can think autonomously.
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:34.879
Exactly.
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:35.840
Yeah, that is 100%.
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.440
Cool, and thank you.
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:42.559
So, what excites you both uh about agentic AI, if anything.
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:51.840
I'm excited, and I think I said this last time as well, at the prospect of not using AI for stuff, and hear me out.
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:59.759
I want the agents, I want the agent, the main agent as we discussed, to know to maybe not consult another
agent, right?
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:07.440
It could be something that translates into math, for example, because LLMs are notoriously bad at math.
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:10.159
It's just because it's don't worry about that.
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:10.960
We'll talk about that later.
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:13.440
Right?
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.320
But you don't need a model to solve math problems, right?
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:21.440
You just need an agent that's capable of doing these math problems, like tough integration problems.
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:27.120
But as we all know, it's really awful to type a math problem into a machine.
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:39.679
So if you can tell an LLM, look, I need the integral from here to here of this very complex function, and that can translate it into math language, and then your math agent can take care of that for you.
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:46.879
That's a very exciting part of it because it's cutting out a lot of processing, unnecessary processing that's happening.
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:48.960
And that's what I'm a little bit excited for.
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.399
And I mean, obviously, just the general benefits of agentic AI.
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:52.960
Yeah.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:17:16.720
I think, yeah, I think agentic AI will definitely start to shift the way industries, not even just software industries, are kind of working where the routine tasks will now be taken over by these agents, and that gives humans a lot more time and flexibility to work on things that are a lot more high-level and autonomy in in the software industry as well, which is quite exciting.
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:18.319
It's very cool.
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:24.880
Earlier you mentioned, just on this point, earlier you mentioned that AI isn't always the right tool for the job.
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:33.440
But do you think that agentic AI might be moving towards AI being, well, the specific agentic AI agent being the right tool for the job?
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:42.000
So, in a way, we're kind of moving towards an era where there will be more AI for these problems that right now AI isn't the answer for.
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.480
I think that was a very complicated question.
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:46.640
I'm sorry, go to any AI.
00:17:47.599 --> 00:18:01.359
I think agentic AI, generative AI, machine learning, all deep learning, all of these areas within the AI realm is all very important, and every single one has a specific use case.
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.279
There's lots of cases where you do not need agentic AI or generative AI.
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:09.359
It is a lot more expensive, it's a lot more environmentally unfriendly.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:14.400
So there's lots of cases where machine learning and deep learning are perfectly good at solving these problems.
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.079
That's not going to change.
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.559
In time, there will definitely be a lot more cases
where agentic AI is useful.
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:28.400
But once again, you need to be very critical at noticing where it is needed because agentic AI is a lot more expensive than generative AI.
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.000
I suppose going back to that metaphor, you don't always need a subject matter expert.
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.519
Sometimes you just need someone to do the task.
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:34.079
Exactly.
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:36.160
Or you just need to do a Google search, you know.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:37.759
Like let's forget about it, you know.
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:47.359
A lot of the time, like even with the POCs I worked on, people have wanted these multi-stepped agentic systems when you just need a well-pumped LLM.
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.319
There's no need for it.
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:49.119
That's very true.
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:49.680
Yeah.
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:59.599
I also uh I think that's actually going to be the problem, is it is going to be capable, like I said, uh currently LLMs are capable of generating code for you.
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:06.079
And agentic uh systems are going to be capable of solving a lot more of the problems that couldn't be solved.
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.160
And I think that's going to be more of a problem than it is going to be a solution.
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.119
Not because I'm I'm like cynical about AI.
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:16.000
I'm a little bit cynical about AI, but not super cynical.
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:16.400
Yeah.
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:27.039
Everyone should be a little bit cynical about AI, but it's because you are going to get this very complex system that's going to be sold to you, right?
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:31.519
I'm predicting packages of agent AIs that are going to be sold to you.
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.599
And you are going to buy it because it will work.
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:39.119
But what you will have actually just needed is like a database management software or something to that effect.
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:43.200
And people will not know those things exist because everyone has moved towards agenda AI.
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:53.519
I suppose that's why it's so important to not just buy off the shelf, but also make sure that you're talking to the experts who can guide you in what you actually need for this problem, specifically within your area.
00:19:53.839 --> 00:20:03.759
Yeah, and I think in the history of humanity, we've kind of proven as long as people are investing money into a problem, it will become a solution.
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:14.160
If may so as long as we're investing money into improving agentic AI and we're thinking about can we want it to solve this problem, it will end up solving that problem.
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.119
Yeah, absolutely.
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:16.559
But will it be the right choice?
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:17.759
Who knows?
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:27.599
Speaking about humans, how how do you think the role of the humans within all of these tasks will continue to evolve from where it is now?
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:34.640
I think you will always need to be in the driver's seat, which a lot of people seem to get too comfortable and complacent with.
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:48.400
Going back to vibe coding, vibe coding is great until you don't understand what the code is being written, and then that's not so useful because although it works, as soon as you need to maintain it, if you have buttons, you need to solve it, you're not gonna know how to do that.
00:20:48.640 --> 00:21:07.599
So as AI evolves, you will have a lot more systems that are in place that are solving problems using AI, but you will always need to be the driver of that, in control of that, knowing where and what is happening and kind of guiding the AI to the right solution because it's it's probability at the end of the day.
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:09.920
It's not always going to give you the best answer.
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.079
You still need to do research to figure out which is the best solution going forward.
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.720
It will give you a solution, it's not always the best solution.
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:18.160
That's very true.
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:27.200
Before we close out, um, can each of you give us a takeaway, a final thought, or just a closing idea that you want to share with the audience?
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.000
That's a good question.
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:44.400
Um I think you always have to be maybe be slightly afraid of AI, but more importantly, be excited for it and always know that although it's around, you will always be the driver.
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.000
So use it to your benefit, not to your fear.
00:21:50.000 --> 00:22:00.160
I think regarding AI, I'd say be adaptable, be smart, and don't be dumb about your data, please.
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:02.799
I was waiting for data to come.
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:08.640
Thank you so much to both of you for you know sitting down and having this conversation.
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.599
I really enjoyed it, and I'm sure everyone else will as well.
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.119
Um, and thank you to all of you for joining us for this episode of Take Unboxed.
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:16.480
We'll see you at the next one.
