This year, AI agents have been at the forefront of tech companies’ ambitions. OpenAI’s Sam Altman has often talked about a possible billion-dollar company being spun up with just one human and an army of AI agents.

Hosts Michael Calore and Lauren Goode sit down with Evan to discuss how it’s going, and the current promises and realities of AI agents.
