My name is Alicia Lacy. This is your Tech Minute.My name is Alicia Lacey. This is your Tech Minute. Robots are now teaching each other.
We've lost control. Do you think or not?
Silicon Valley is licking its chops at the promise of AI agents. These are the
startups to watch. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has prophesied that this may be
the year the first agents, the first agents, a set of artificial intelligence tools
that can perform tasks on their own to join the workforce.
My goodness. Investors whose job it is to back new technologies before they become
ubiquitous are swimming at the promise of these digital co -workers.
Wow, the rise of agents offer fertile ground for a select group of startups to
establish themselves as the front runners of this shift. In that spirit,
Business Insider reviewed press releases, news articles, and pitch a pitch book data
for startups exploring the application of agents across various sectors and then
filtered for those companies that raised rounds of more than 25 million in less than
75 million in 2024. The result is a list of 21 startups that seemed positioned to
scale this year on the back of new funding. Now,
if 2024 was like the year of LLMs, we believe 2025 will be the year of Agentec
AI, said Praveen Akharaju, a managing director at Insight Patterns,
whose Adjutant plays include Ryder, Jasper,
and Torque.
The last wave of artificial intelligence brought co -pilots, a type of virtual
assistant, designed to work side by side with a user. Some write codes,
some recap meetings, or emails, and some transcribe notes on a physicians' behalf,
co -pilots require some human hand -holding, but significantly amplified productivity and
efficiency.
Now since this breakthrough, a new generation of virtual assistants has emerged. How
do you feel aboutagents and artificial intelligence. And how do you feel about them completing tasks
that only require human supervision?
This is really,really taking on a new scheme of things and I hope that the world is watching and
paying attention. We do not want robots to stand in where humans once stood.
The economy is already rough. A lot of people are going through right now. As we
go into this recession that's taking place, we don't need people to lose their jobs
due to robots taking over. My name again is Alicia Lacy and this was your Tech
Minute with W R Y T R i.
