This podcast episode discusses the unexpectedly fast and slow advancements in AI during 2024. The host analyzes several areas, including model capabilities, enterprise adoption (both purchasing and utilization), cost reduction, policy shifts, and societal changes, comparing his observations with those of AI research tools like Grok and Perplexity. A key takeaway is the significant discrepancy between rapid enterprise AI purchasing and the much slower rate of actual tool implementation and utilization within companies. The host concludes by highlighting the accelerating importance of AI agents and offering an "Agent Readiness and Opportunity Audit" service.
