The AI Agents Are Here

This podcast episode discusses key themes from Morgan Stanley's Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference. The hosts, Adam Jonas and Michelle Weaver, cover the impact of tariffs on tech companies (with software less affected than hardware), the evolution of AI applications (from basic chatbots to sophisticated agent-based systems like Salesforce's delivery resolution tool), and the rapid advancement of autonomous vehicles (highlighted by Waymo's expanding presence in San Francisco). They also explore the burgeoning field of humanoid robotics, noting its rapid development and potential impact across various sectors. The discussion concludes with observations on the convergence of technological and geopolitical factors driving these innovations.
