Generative AI is just the Beginning AI Agents are what Comes next | Daoud Abdel Hadi | TEDxPSUT

Navigate the frontier of artificial intelligence, exploring the transformative potential of generative AI and the emerging era of AI agents. I am a Machine Learning Engineer at EastNets, where I'm responsible for introducing and implementing machine learning to tackle the not-so-easy task of combatting financial crimes such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud.

I graduated with both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Artificial Intelligence where I fully immersed myself in all things machine learning, from decision trees to state-of-the-art Deep Neural networks.

This TEDx talk on AI agents is mind-blowing! The speaker's vision of AI agents working together reminds me of platforms like SmythOS that enable multi-agent orchestration. I'm really curious to learn more about how businesses are implementing these AI agent teams.

This lecture would have amazed me 2 years ago. But after having conversations with Claude 3 the last couple of days, this is a history lecture.
Edit: I was wrong and happily stand corrected.

The audio of this video was super low volume even at the max capaxity of my phone audio. You need to correct that.

Programmers are so good, they can replace themselves... with code that writes even better code! Who needs job security when you can automate your own job?

Where's the personal storytelling that build the essence of Ted talks? I mean. What he's saying is of big importance. However, people can't gasp the exponential development these agents will bring to our society. I'd expect a speaker to share his excitement with the audience by giving them a bridge from what they already know to what's happening when Agents are here.

Need to show what is on the screen when he is talking, not the crowd or the speaker 8:26

Tony Stark was like the richest person in the world. That’s a great avatar of who will benefit most from AI.

[Cristian-ygbg]

I'm ready for my AI agent to take over mundane tasks, like deciding which Netflix show to binge.

[doc]

Please fix the sound level, I have problem of hearing anything while my audio is at max.

[PoffinScientist]

Please TED let us know the date of your videos!

[santoshtavargeri]

With all the buzz around, i am working in Canadian big bank working on java 8, with spring xml and still asking for the logs from the support team 😂

[gdibble]

🗣 *"Agents are the just the feedback loop of planning and executing actions, using Language Models."* Thanks Daoud Abdel Hadi for that simple breakdown, and the excellent speech.

[aination]

such wonderful presentation, and how is everyone in the audience so dull?

[cesarorz]

I am a programmer and although many people said that we are safe, believe me, I am planning to move to other areas of economy like farming. Specially in this days with Devin and know a lot of people all over the world are working really hard to automate everything, I was doing that myself.

[nintishia]

Important ideas, clearly communicated.

[lrycmew]

If AI agents can fold my laundry, I'm all in!

[YouAreTheRaidBoss]

Great talk! Loved the optimistic outlook!

[AIBeReal]

Audience all looking at their phones and yawning.
