Chennapragada: Autonomy, complexity, and natural interaction will shape successful AI agents
“So I think all three things, the autonomy, the complexity, and the natural interaction are at least product principles that will shape really good ones, good agents.”
Dignan: Modeling complex systems fails without integrating multiple diverse perspectives
