Agentic AI s Big Decision

from Steven AI Talk · host Steven

The source, an excerpt from an IBM Technology video transcript, discusses the use of **decision agents** in **agentic AI** frameworks for solving complex problems. It argues that while **Large Language Models (LLMs)** are central to agentic AI, they are unsuitable for building decision agents due to issues like **inconsistency, lack of transparency, difficulty in change, and poor handling of structured data**. Instead, the text advocates for using established technologies like **business rules management systems** or **decision platforms** because they offer crucial benefits such as **consistency, transparency, and agility**. These platforms allow for the integration of **machine learning models** for probabilistic elements and can be enhanced by LLMs for tasks like **data ingestion** and **explanation generation**. Finally, the transcript addresses how both analytical and decision agents can **learn and improve** over time, with decision agents often relying on structured testing like A/B comparisons.

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. CISO Perspectives (public) N2K Networks This season on CISO Perspectives, host Kim Jones explores some of the challenges of leading through uncertainty. We explore the complexity of the changing nature of regulation and working with the federal government, the evolution of privacy and fraud, and how emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing are changing cyber. When you don’t know what questions to ask, you’re afraid to ask, or don’t know who to ask, CISO Perspectives provides the foundation for learning in this brave new world. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
