Part 6/10:
One of the most pivotal trends highlighted in Andrew's presentation is the rise of agentic AI workflows. Traditionally, AI systems operated on relatively straightforward commands or prompts. However, the emerging workflows proposed involve greater complexity and intelligence. For instance, instead of a single, linear request, an AI can now operate in cycles of reflection, iteration, and tool utilization—similar to human thought processes.
Andrew presented a compelling illustration: rather than generating an entire piece of writing in one go, an AI can begin by outlining the content, conducting research, drafting, and refining based on critique. This looped approach has proven to yield far superior outcomes in realms such as legal analysis, healthcare diagnostics, and compliance.
