Big Automation for Big (and Small) Business
Summary
Jeremy and Jim discuss Jeremy's recent visit to a cutting-edge biomedical research lab that showcases how automation and AI are transforming pharmaceutical research. They explore the difference between traditional automation, machine learning, and the emerging frontier of "agentic AI"—systems that not only run tasks but adapt, learn, and evolve during the experimentation process. With enthusiasm and curiosity, the conversation also touches on how everyday users—whether small business owners or curious spouses—are also beginning their journey with AI, emphasizing that we're all at the starting line of a powerful technological shift.Chapters
