We've talked about this before, the AI state of the art has moved from chatbots to agents.
And when you think about what these agents are doing, they're starting to take on tasks that you and I would typically do.
There's implication on the network, there's implication for security, there's implication for tools that we use for collaboration.
And we have some research that we recently published around the traffic volumes and how much an AI agent consumes for the same task versus a human.
And so you have to think about if you're building infrastructure today, how do you future-proof that? How do you put something in place today from an infrastructure point of view? That is going to stand the test of time for the next couple of years.
So the workplace has to account for a blended team of humans and agents working side by side, and that's really where our innovation is focused on right now.
Absolutely, so you know, when you think about what you're delegating to these agents, these are tasks that we used to do.
These agents are using the exact same tools, exact same applications, and they don't take a break, they don't get tired, they're on 24 by seven, And so the network is never idle.
So you have to design for this new world, and it's much different than how it used to be when there were just humans.
That redesigning the network, is that going to be a 20% increase in capacity? Is that going to be a 200% increase? Is it going to be a 10x increase? What do you think is going to happen in the next five years?
I think you can draw inspiration from what's happening in software engineering as an example.
