The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

on Friday.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

Is this okay?

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

And then when they press the thumbs up button, that's what triggers the update in the order database and then updates the entire system.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

Fundamentally, what I've just described

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

is the same thing.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

And if you can one-shot this problem with an LLM for sure, but you've got to be so worried about prompt injection attacks.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

You've got to be worried about the cases where it gets it wrong.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

You've got to be worried about the cases where someone tries to manipulate it.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

So the gap here is not that isn't LLM intelligent enough to do the task that we're talking about.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

It's the architecture around it that actually makes it something that an enterprise will deploy.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

And the thing to note here is that

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

It is a binary system.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

A system like this is either deployable or it's not.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

It's either useful or it's completely useless.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

It can be like 99% of the time and be completely useless if there's no accountability, if there's no systems to check that it does only what you plan on it doing.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

And I think that kind of example sort of illustrates the difference between the architecture gap and just one-shotting things with an LLM.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

Yeah.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

So I think it was, this was part of an interview when I talked about the optimistic future versus the pessimistic future.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

And this is definitely the optimistic future.

The Digital Executive
Akhil Verghese: Why AI Needs Guardrails | Ep 1263

I, I do believe that that's possible for sure.
