Nathan Labenz on the Next Generation of AI Agents | The Cognitive Revolution at Imagine AI Live 25
Nathan Labenz (Founder of Waymark and host of The Cognitive Revolution) reveals how to build enterprise-grade AI agents that are reliable, scalable, and safe. He shares a blueprint for automation systems that don’t just run — they think, adapt, and earn human trust. From architecture to real-world deployment, this session dives deep into the next wave of intelligent systems redefining enterprise productivity at Imagine AI Live 25 in Las Vegas.
Key Points
- AI agents are currently outperforming human doctors in diagnosis and treatment recommendations, and are also capable of performing at or above the level of junior software developers.
- The move towards reinforcement learning in AI training is leading to emergent cognitive behaviors and significant performance improvements, but also introduces risks of reward hacking and unpredictable actions.
- Businesses should leverage AI agents for structured workflows and automation, while remaining cautious about deploying fully autonomous agentic AI systems due to their experimental and potentially unreliable nature.
