What’s next for AI agentic workflows by Andrew Ng (AI Ascent by Sequoia Capital)

01 Apr 2024 Coding Digital analytics 339

I came across a fascinating video from Andrew Ng discussing the future of AI with a focus on agentic workflows. Unlike the current non-agentic workflows where we spoon-feed instructions to AI models, agentic workflows allow these models to act more independently, tackling tasks on their own. A great analogy mentioned by Andrew Ng is that non-agentic workflows operate as if you are writting an essay without the option to use backspace (which works remarkably well for LLMs), but what works even better is if you give them the option to contemplate on their results and provide updates (agentic workflows). The...
