In this episode of The Next Innovation, host Jennifer Strong unpacks how agentic AI, a new form of AI technology, is shaping the landscape of business operations, specifically how it is fortifying cybersecurity efforts. We meet Thomas Kinsella, co-founder of Tines, an Irish technology company that employs agentic AI for smarter workflows and increased production. Dr. John Williams, professor of agentic computing at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), walks us through how agentic AI differs from large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, and Anne Neuberger, former U.S. deputy National Security Advisor for cyber and emerging technology, explains how the use of agents in cybersecurity can better detect unusual behaviors and prepare against foreign adversaries, including how Chinese attackers targeted Anthropic AI, an AI research company. Plus, Lane Bess, former CEO of Palo Alto Networks, shares how companies can integrate AI agents to both protect and enable workers.
