The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: UiPath's Daniel Dines on Why Agents Do Not Mean RPA is F***** | Why We Have Reached the Upper End of Scaling Laws | The Future of Work in an Agent World and What Everyone Misunderstands About Enterprise AI

No, I don't think so. These validations will be actually mostly on the difficult cases in the longer term. So you asked me when agents will become like fully autonomous. I think there will be a progression to become comfortable with the output of an agent.

I'm not sure about it. The catch here is that building agents require some interesting skills. Today, we are at the point where we know technology works, but in order to make it working, you require very high skilled people in some particular areas. Building an agent requires creating a prompt. Building a good prompt, it's actually more difficult than building a script.

A script is more predictable. You have the requirements. You just follow the requirements using logic, algorithm logic. With the prompt, things are not like this. Because slight changes in the prompt can make it working like you want or not. We put a lot of work right now into helping our automation developers building better prompts, suggesting them prompts, helping them build evaluation sets.

It's much easier to test a script that works as intended than a prompt, because the input data can make such a huge difference, and it's very hard to test it.

Jobs are changing over time. We are seeing in agriculture, if you think about 100 years ago, 50% of UK or US population worked in agriculture. Nowadays, it's only 2%. They are mostly people that supervise machines doing their work. Yes, many of the jobs today will change, but they will be new jobs. Society evolves. You don't want to be stuck in the existing society.

This thing will create abundance. The only way to keep with the economical growth is to increase productivity. It's with population aging and actually on the verge of starting to reduce, like in many first world countries, it's only increasing the productivity. This tool is essential to increase productivity.

Why we are focusing on the doom day scenario when actually we live in one of the best world possible when it's the rate of unemployment is the lowest in, I don't know, ever maybe.
