How the World's Largest Food & Beverage Company Accelerates Digital Innovation
Nestle’s technology leader described how the company is moving from internal GPT adoption toward agentic AI across business domains. His core message: avoid fragmented agents and short-term tool sprawl by standardizing data, governance, context, architecture, and operating models before scaling pilots across markets, brands, and categories.
Is AI Killing Software as a Service?
Clay Beauvoir argued AI is not simply killing SaaS; it is forcing a split between durable data-backed systems and software whose interface value agents can disaggregate. He framed customer-facing AI agents as outcome-priced software, requiring guardrails, supervisor agents, and simulation testing to work reliably in regulated front-office use cases.
Unlocking a New Era of Discovery
Alexei Dosevitsky described Recursive’s goal of building self-improving AI systems that can automate scientific discovery, starting with AI research itself. He emphasized agent communities, benchmarked progress on training and GPU-kernel tasks, open-ended exploration, and early safety work against reward hacking.
