The people who understand those enterprise systems the best are in the best position to build those agents. Is there going to be a big opportunity to build agents that are from entrepreneurs?

How do you think about it?

1Mby1M AI Investor Forum: Shripati Acharya, Managing Partner at Priven Advisors (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: Yes. In all our discussions last year on AI, human centric AI was front and center. AI is in enterprises, AI is in small businesses, but it’s either a human using AI as whether it’s a co-pilot or an assistant, whatever; but it’s the human making the decisions. It’s the human using the AI to do his or her job faster, more efficiently, et cetera.
