Many companies are finding themselves stuck in the AI productivity paradox - employees use AI every day, but the business sees little tangible ROI. Anthony Butler believes the answer lies in the “AI Agent OS,” a system where autonomous agents manage entire business functions and turn AI’s potential into measurable results.
A former IBM Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect at the National Centre of AI (NCAI), Anthony is now VP at HUMAIN, where he helps develop secure, multilingual AI systems for government and enterprise use. In this episode, he lays out a practical roadmap for moving beyond endless pilots to real production value - and much more.
