AI Agents for Beginners: Building Your First AI Agent

AI agents are everywhere right now, and for good reason. They're transforming how we interact with software, moving beyond simple question-answer systems to tools that can actually *do things* for us. Most "agents" you see **aren't really** agents at all. Today, we're going to build a real agent that can think, decide, and act on its own.

Big techs' role in the #AI supply chain raises questions about competition, operational resilience, cyber security, and financial stability. Big tech AI supply chains also risk stifling socially beneficial #innovation.
Leonardo Gambacorta, Vatsala Shreeti

#EconSky

A chart that details the five parts of the AI supply chain: Hardware, Cloud computing, Training data, Foundation models, and AI applications.

Advances in AI are transforming the economy. Behind this wave of visible innovation lies a less visible but significant trend: the role of large technology firms – commonly referred to as ‘big techs’ – across the AI supply chain. This column analyses the AI supply chain and the market structure of every input layer, highlighting the economic forces shaping the provision of AI and the role of big techs in each input market. The authors illuminate challenges that big techs pose to consumer choice, innovation, operational resilience, cyber security, and financial stability.

#Vibecoding is fun but #AI is nowhere close to delivering production quality code. Perhaps this will change in the future.

Right now, it is excellent accessibility feature and slightly better stack overflow.

Ethical AI in HR isn’t a ‘nice to have’—it’s a ‘must have.’ 🛑 If your AI isn’t helping build better, more inclusive workplaces, then it’s just a glorified calculator. 🤖
