In this episode of the Agent Workforce Podcast, Kristiina Åberg and Niko Lehtonen break down the latest wave of AI developments and share lessons from building agentic systems in the enterprise.

We start with the release of Claude 4 Opus and AI Safety Level 3 (ASL-3) protections from Anthropic and why these new features (and their “snitching” behavior!) have the AI world buzzing.Next, we unpack key trends from Mary Meeker’s 2025 AI Trends Report, including what’s really driving adoption, how fast industries are evolving, and where the biggest opportunities (and risks) lie.

Finally, Niko shares key takeaways from Digital Workforce’s latest webinar: From LLMs to Agentic Systems — What’s the Difference and Why It Matters. He explains how agentic systems are designed to go beyond basic LLM prompts, what role parameters and orchestration layers play, and how these systems are being used today, including a real example of an agentic loan processing workflow.
