    #298 Sunita Sarawagi: How AI Can Learn the World and Still Follow Logic

    This episode is sponsored by AGNTCY. Unlock agents at scale with an open Internet of Agents.  Visit https://agntcy.org/ and add your support. Why should AI that learns from the messy real world still obey strict logic, and what does it take to make that reliability hold up in production? In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith sits down with Sunita Sarawagi to unpack how large scale learning can be combined with explicit rules and constraints so models stay trustworthy. We cover when world ingestion fails without structure, how to encode domain logic alongside LLMs, and which hybrid or neurosymbolic approaches reduce hallucinations while preserving flexibility. You will hear how to design a reliability stack for real users, detect out of distribution inputs, and choose evaluation signals that reflect outcomes rather than accuracy alone. Learn how product teams layer formal logic on top of generative models, decide what to hard code versus learn from data, and enforce business policies across agents, tools, and knowledge graphs. You will also hear how to run safe experiments, track prompt and model changes, prevent regressions before they reach customers, and plan for compute and infrastructure at scale with metrics like completion rate, CSAT, retention, and cost per resolution.   ​​Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigss  Eye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI

    #297 Jeff Lunsford: How Agentic AI Will Redefine Every Digital Interaction

    Why will agentic AI redefine every digital interaction, and what foundation do enterprises need to make it safe, trusted, and real time? In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith sits down with Jeff Lunsford to unpack how a neutral customer data platform like Tealium becomes the control plane for agentic systems. We cover how to collect and unify first party data responsibly, enforce consent and identity across channels, and feed the right context to models so agents can act with confidence in the moment. You will hear how real time profiles, event streams, and deterministic identity power personalization, automation, and transactions across web, mobile, ads, email, and customer support. Learn how leading enterprises are preparing for agentic commerce that could double digital interactions, why governance and privacy must be embedded into delivery teams, and which standards enable safe transactions and payments with agents. You will also hear how to build an "agentic front door" for your business, design guardrails and spending allowances, choose where to run reasoning and inference, and measure impact with metrics like conversion rate, ROAS, CSAT, and cost per resolution. ​​Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigss  Eye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI

    #296 Yeop Lee: How Coxwave is Redefining AI Evaluation

    This episode is sponsored by AGNTCY. Unlock agents at scale with an open Internet of Agents.  Visit https://agntcy.org/ and add your support. How is Coxwave Redefining AI Evaluation? In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith is joined by Yeop Lee, Head of Product at Coxwave. Together they explore how teams move beyond accuracy-only metrics to outcome focused evaluation with Coxwave's Align. We look at how Align measures satisfaction, trust, and task completion across chat, email, and voice, how LLM as judge pairs with human review, and how product teams search conversations to find hidden failure patterns that block adoption. Learn how leading companies design an evaluation stack that guides prompts, agents, and UX, which pitfalls to avoid when shipping updates, and which metrics matter most for success, including completion rate, CSAT, retention, and cost per resolution. You will also hear how to run experiment tracking with model and prompt change logs, set up governance that prevents regressions, and choose between SaaS and on premise deployments that meet security and compliance needs.

    #295 Fergal Reid: Why Your Bots Fail and How Agents Fix Your Customer Support

    This episode is sponsored by AGNTCY. Unlock agents at scale with an open Internet of Agents.  Visit https://agntcy.org/ and add your support. Why do so many chatbots fail in the real world, and how can AI agents actually fix customer support? In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith explores how teams move beyond scripted bots to production-grade AI agents that resolve real issues across chat, email, and voice. We look at what makes agents reliable at scale, how to configure them safely, and how to manage them like digital workers alongside your human team. Learn how leading companies approach agent onboarding and governance, which pitfalls to avoid, and which metrics matter most for success, including resolution rate, CSAT, and cost per resolution. You will also hear how to enable actions like refunds and returns through secure procedures, design human handoff that customers appreciate, and build an omnichannel rollout plan that scales responsibly. ​​Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X:https://x.com/craigss Eye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI

    #291 Naveen Jain: How AI Predicts Cancer, Diabetes & Chronic Illness

    This episode is sponsored by AGNTCY. Unlock agents at scale with an open Internet of Agents. Visit https://agntcy.org/ and add your support. Can AI and RNA testing make illness optional? In this episode, Eye on AI host Craig S. Smith sits down with Naveen Jain, founder and CEO of Viome, to explore how RNA sequencing and artificial intelligence are transforming our understanding of chronic disease. Jain shares how a personal tragedy led him to launch Viome, a company on a mission to digitize the human body, predict illness before symptoms appear, and revolutionize healthcare. Together they discuss how Viome uses metatranscriptomics to analyze microbiome and human gene expression, what makes RNA a better indicator of health than DNA, and how large molecular AI models are paving the way for early detection of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and more. Jain also reveals his bold entrepreneurial framework—"Why this, why now, why me?"—and his belief that asking better questions is the real key to innovation. If you're interested in the intersection of AI, biotechnology, and human longevity, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
