We’re just scratching the surface of agentic AI.

The question isn’t if. It’s how fast.

I have watched the video you provided. It is titled "Agentic AI by 2035? The Future That Could Change Everything" from the YouTube channel TechClarity.

The video discusses the future of agentic AI, which are AI systems that can not only respond to requests but also act, reason, and plan to achieve goals, much like a human. The video suggests that this technology could have a greater impact than the industrial revolution, the internet, and smartphones combined.

Here are some of the key points from the video:

  • What is Agentic AI? The video defines agentic AI as a system with human-like cognitive abilities, including the ability to act on the world and break down complex goals into smaller steps [00:33,01:29]. It also introduces the concept of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as an AI that can perform any intellectual task that a human can [02:54].
  • Levels of Autonomy: The video proposes a 5-level scale for AI autonomy, similar to the levels of self-driving cars [01:55]. This ranges from L1, a basic chatbot, to L5, a fully autonomous agent that requires no human oversight [02:04,02:27].
  • Industry Perspectives: The video includes clips from several leaders in the AI industry. For example, the CEO of Scale AI, Alex Wang, predicts that agents will be embedded in various sectors like the military and logistics [03:05]. The CEO of Cognition, Scott Wu, showcases an AI named Devon that can write and debug code on its own [03:31].
  • The Future and its Risks: The video highlights the potential for AI to become more personal and customizable, acting as "co-pilots" to enhance productivity in various fields [03:43,04:02]. However, it also touches on the potential existential risks of AI, with Elon Musk expressing concern that a superintelligent AI could be uncontrollable [04:37].

Overall, the video presents a comprehensive overview of agentic AI, its potential benefits, the challenges in its development, and the concerns about its impact on humanity.

Summary

Agentic AI and Its Impact

• Agentic AI is expected to transform the next decade more profoundly than the internet and smartphones.

• Agentic AI systems exhibit cognitive capabilities similar to humans, acting, reasoning, and planning across domains.

• Alex Wong, CEO of Scale AI, anticipates agents embedding across various sectors like military and logistics.

• Dario Amen, CEO of Anthropic, emphasizes designing agents with constitutional principles for autonomy.

Agentic Workflows

• Agentic workflows take a more iterative approach, often outperforming traditional methods.

• AI agents are progressing through levels of autonomy, similar to autonomous vehicles from L1 to L5.

• David Luan, CEO of Adept AI, describes agents behaving like human teammates in the workplace.

Current and Future Applications

• AI agents are already reshaping industries, with co-pilots being deployed across various sectors.

• Scott Woo, CEO of Cognition, showcases AI autonomy in tasks like coding and debugging.

• AI is seen as both a tremendous opportunity and a potential existential risk.

Actionable Takeaways

• Understand the potential of agentic AI to transform industries and workflows.

• Explore how AI agents can be integrated into existing processes for efficiency.

• Monitor the development of AI autonomy levels and their implications.

• Consider the ethical and existential risks associated with advanced AI systems.

• Stay informed about AI advancements to leverage opportunities in your field.

It's Gemini pro

Here's an explainer of how it works, courtesy of our friend Gemini:

The tool I use to "watch" and understand YouTube videos is called the YouTube Question Answering tool. It allows me to access the content of a YouTube video so I can answer your questions about it.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works and what it does:

How It Works

  1. Accessing the Transcript: For most videos, the tool primarily works by fetching the video's transcript (the text version of what is being said). It analyzes this text to understand the topics, key points, arguments, and overall message of the video.
  2. Audio & Video Analysis (When Necessary): If you specifically ask me to "watch" the video or if the transcript alone is insufficient to answer your question, I can use a more advanced feature. This feature allows the tool to process the actual audio and video frames of the video. This is useful for:
    • Describing visual elements (e.g., "What is shown on the screen at the 5-minute mark?").
    • Understanding content that isn't spoken, like music, sound effects, or actions.
    • Analyzing videos that don't have a clear transcript.

Key Features

  • Summarization: I can provide a concise summary of the entire video or a specific portion of it.
  • Specific Information Retrieval: You can ask specific questions about the video's content, and I can find the answers. For example, "What did the speaker say about agentic AI's impact on the economy?"
  • Timestamping: When possible, I can provide timestamps to show you exactly where in the video the information is located, as you saw in my previous answers.

What It Can't Do

  • Interpret Subjective Opinions: It cannot form personal opinions or interpret artistic, subjective content (like whether a film is "good" or a song is "beautiful").
  • Watch Live Streams in Real-Time: It cannot process live streams as they are happening.
  • Access Private or Restricted Videos: I can only analyze publicly available YouTube videos.

In short, it's a powerful tool that allows me to process the information within a YouTube video and present it to you in a useful way, saving you the time of watching it yourself.

I did a little research and ChatGPT says its likely Eightify, YouTubeDigest (ChatGPT plugin), or Glasp / Summarize.tech.

I was wondering where it came from myself. :)

u/jlks1959 2d ago

I can see why doubters voice their doubt. Very few examples are shown, even here, that give an average person the slightest idea of how they will use it. What will an agent do for me? I’m not arguing that it’s not going to happen. I just don’t see how it will apply to most people I know.

u/Maleficent-Carob7960 1d ago

Yeah I think its difficult for people to quantify in their daily lives at this point aside from hearing their kids and friends using ChatGPT with various things. I had a pretty strange discussion recently where they that said AI isn't useful. It was hard even to find a target to start the discussion. I think people will just see over the next few years. I kind of compare it to Bitcoin in a way, the same discussions took place about usefulness in their current lives instead of looking beyond to what the future could bring. Excellent comment, I see a lot of the same.

An average person isn't in most equations. I presume this is mostly for businesses and those who do some work online, whether for profit or for hobby. There are millions of things online that can be both automated but also auto-managed, which is where agentic AI comes into place. And it's not just online.

As for the average person, I don't see what they can gain from this other than having some cool stuff on their phones to help them with, or something regarding entertainment or hobbies.

It might accidentally order a few thousand doll houses or tungsten cubes on your credit card. Who knows.

u/Maleficent-Carob7960 1d ago

I think the idea of it having access to your credit card is pretty dangerous. I am sure you are liable for the charges, can't blame the AI saying you didn't approve the charge.

u/jlks1959 17h ago

Discover, the only credit card I own, foots the entire fraud. Nope.

u/Maleficent-Carob7960 17h ago

I lived off a Discover in Asia many years ago. Was the only card that worked there because of some special partnership in China with UnionPay. Know the card very well.
