“AI agents set to revolutionise procurement in 2025. Music to your ears Jon W. Hansen” – Sheldon Mydat LinkedIn Post (February 9th, 2025)
As long as it hits the right notes, Sheldon Mydat. 😉
A quick check – you do know that I have been in high-tech for more than 40 years and love and work with AI architecture – I even sold a company I started in 2000 based on self-learning algorithms within a nascent AI platform. – https://bit.ly/42xrUdI
After you read the post, consider the following:
AI Agents – Agentic or otherwise require human direction to learn. They will not become magically “smarter” than we are because they are an extension of what we know. We are the blueprint.
If the foundational insights we provide to them are flawed, how will AI address that? How will “they” identify the flaws if “they” don’t know they exist?
AI can and will do amazing things if properly trained and given the correct foundational understanding of the tasks it is meant to automate and improve. My doubt has never been about the technology’s ability; my concerns are with human misunderstanding, misinterpretation, and an inability to understand our critical role in enabling AI or any technology to achieve its optimal capabilities consistently.

As a Sci-Fi buff, it seems appropriate to share the following video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGHUUtUMXEA.
