Now the Work Begins Romero AI and Souto AI point to a new phase of artificial intelligence: less technology hunting for a use case, more real problems finding a way to get solved.

Prosus, the global technology and ecommerce group, recently said it has deployed more than … Continue reading The Strange Thing Companies Are Learning From Thousands of AI Agents
