"AI alignment is really making sure that the outcomes are ... as intended ... knowing that you're getting to that goal in a way that meets every expectation that's set along the way...and it's no longer encapsulated in just code, but in human interactions as well"

Emerging, Emergent & Evolving AI Agents
“I find it interesting how the AI community ... has largely been speaking to a VC community or ... developer audience. Right? ... I think that AI ... has this sort of branding problem when you look at it from a human-centric point of view."
- Laurel Pinson,
Pivotal CxO Council,
Fractional Chief Brand Officer
"As we give more responsibility to agents ... where does the responsibility lie? For an action taken is an open question. I think we're gonna be debating for a while."
- Evan Lee,
Pivotal CxO Council,
Fractional Chief Technology & Product Officer
“If llms are any indication, [AI] is only going to get better and less expensive over time. So starting to think about how that's going to impact ... how we run businesses, but how we ... build systems and design, not just for humans, but the agents that'll be working alongside them.”
