"Agentic AI will change the world of work"
With Agentic AI, the focus is shifting to a new generation of artificial intelligence that not only reacts, but also makes decisions and carries out tasks independently. In the latest episode of the Text Academy's AI podcast, Gustavo Salami, founder of Kuble - House of Intelligence, talks about the potential and risks.
In the podcast, Gustavo Salami describes how the autonomous working time of such AI agents is currently doubling every seven months - a development that not only promises efficiency gains, but also fundamentally changes the understanding of work. Professions with repetitive tasks are particularly affected, while so-called "elastic" jobs that require creativity or social intelligence could remain or gain in importance.
But it's about more than just economic processes. Salami, for example, says that he sometimes prefers to interact with AI rather than humans because it is more patient and less judgmental. Such statements raise profound questions about the relationship between humans and machines - for example, whether AI can be perceived as more empathetic than humans.
The video podcast "AI and Society - Paths into the New World" is produced by the Swiss Text Academy, which also offers courses on artificial intelligence. Two episodes are published monthly, on Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms.
