SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background, and what led you to create Sema4.ai?. 

Topic 2 - AI Agents vs. Automation 2.0. What Actually Changed. Tell us about the Sema4.ai platform and capabilities. What challenges does it solve today?

Topic 3 - You’re initially focused on solving challenges for the CFO, which means there is a ROI-focus all the time. Why did you target that segment of the business first?

Topic 3a - What are the biggest hidden costs in enterprise AI deployments today?

Topic 4 - Sema4.ai emphasizes “your LLM, your VPC, your data.”  What are the biggest considerations for companies looking to create these private/sovereign AI solutions? What typically gets overlooked?

Topic 5 - How do you tend to frame the conversation about AI trustworthiness, and the role of humans vs. agents for enterprise work? 

Topic 6 - It feels like so much has changed or evolved with AI in the last 2-3 years. How does an Enterprise think about this much change for something that will be core to many critical applications? What will the Enterprise Architecture look like in 2 years?

Topic 7 - Sema4.ai emerged partly from the acquisition of Robocorp and has roots in open-source automation.  Do you have a perspective on the role open-source will play in AI going forward?
