Software is getting cheaper to build and insanely faster to ship, shrinking “ten people for a year” into days. However, the real question is this: if the tools are already here and the upside is that big, why are so many companies still stuck watching from the sidelines?In this conversation, Eric and John explore the emerging agent economy, discussing the rapid decline in software costs and delivery times due to advancements in technology. They highlight the potential of software agents to perform tasks traditionally done by humans, the challenges organizations face in adopting these technologies, and the importance of trust and control in the implementation of AI. The discussion also touches on the skills gap in AI, the emerging divide between organizations that can leverage these technologies and those that cannot, and strategic considerations for businesses looking to participate in the agent economy.
