Short interview-style transcript from Dreamforce where Will.i.am (founder & CEO of FYI AI) discusses launching an ASU class and emphasizes empowering individuals with personal AI agents that they control. He argues agents should reflect the user's point of view and protect personal data rather than defaulting to company-owned models that monetize user data.
You never know who you'll run into at Dreamforce. And this time, it was the one and only Will. I am founder and CEO of FYI AI. You're launching a class at asu. Agent excels. What are you most excited about?
People, when they graduate, can have a fighting chance to get a job. In a world where AI and agents are taking jobs, people should be as fluent as companies are. They should have the same.
Tools everyone's using agents. How do you see agents being used over the next few years?
To navigate this digiverse, the digirealm, you need your own agent. It's the most personal thing. Why would you want an agent to then cough up all your data for the company that owns it? To sell it to the highest bidder? You want something you could trust that reflects your point of view. Our vision of FYI is like. No, it's. It's yours.
It's always a pleasure catching up with innovators like William who are shaping how we think about the future of AI until next time.
