I think the automation with agents is the hardest, and it's because analyzing the data is something that you still can do fairly deterministically and, and, and it doesn't require lots of, of, of judgment.
Johan LandGUEST
Whereas once you start deploying AI and agents into an operation, you need to start making decisions.
Johan LandGUEST
You need to make those decision based on data and based on analytics, but often there's a layer of judgment involved there, like a judgment call.
Johan LandGUEST

Johan LandGUEST
What is the right next thing to do? Should you con- should, should you dial 911 on behalf of, of, of the driver because this is a serious situation? Or should you, should you contact, contact someone else, or should you check in with the driver through, through, through like voice? Or like what's the right next step, right?

So a week ago, what OpenAI does [laughs] is that they start just, it looks like in desperation, spending, like, $10 billion plus on, like, 10,000 plus agents trying to solve the six remaining millennium problems, and they get traction on exactly Navier-Stokes, right? So then they...

Tony HuangHOST
So, um, and you're, and you're like your opinion, when did more visibility stop being the product?
Johan LandGUEST
The way we think about this in the context of our customers, but I think it's true for the entire market.
Johan LandGUEST

The problem is that companies are struggling with having the bandwidth to train everyone.
Johan LandGUEST

Johan LandGUEST
And look, we have been deploying AI for more than 10 years, right? At scale, like at high scale.
Johan LandGUEST
We are on, you know, 20-plus percent of vehicles in the US, so, like, uh, in, in commercial fleets.
Johan LandGUEST
And the types of things that we've been doing all along is effectively have the AI drive with people, observe what is happening, and then alerting drivers to it.

Michael VincentHOST
How do, how does this impact those nucle- nuclear verdicts in risk management? You talked about the driver being exonerated, but from that discovery angle and that type of stuff, how, how is this impacted?
