On Tuesday’s Show:
Segment 1
What is agentic AI (artificial intelligence)? Peggy looks at the staggering growth forecast for the agentic AI market—and its transformative potential for the construction industry. She shares data about why small and midsized construction firms are still hesitant to adopt AI and use cases where agentic AI can make a difference, including project scheduling, supply chain coordination, and worksite safety. The agents are coming—and in some cases they are already here.
Segment 2
Yury Gomez, global commercial head for supply chain manufacturing and mobility industries, Microsoft, joins Peggy to talk about agentic AI (artificial intelligence) in the supply chain. They dig into the concept of a frontier firm and the acceleration of agentic AI—and how it will change the future of work. Learn about how to build more resilient and fluid supply chains, while using technology and upskilling and reskilling the workforce.
Segment 3
Peggy is joined by Maria Pacheco, assistant professor of computer science, University of Colorado Boulder, to discuss the results of a study surrounding AI solving sudoku puzzles. They also talk about how humans and AI think or reason differently and if we can merge the two ways of thinking, combining the memory of a large language model with the human brain’s capacity for logic.
