Understanding agents from a technical perspective

In this masterclass I demonstrate in very simple lines of code from Akerion what an actual agent is. While from a user perspective it is easy to see the results, how agents actually work seems to be a mystery to many and is kept a secret to the few. The reality is that agents are by and large integrations with code and how this interaction happens is fundamental to your awareness of what you should and should not provide to your agents when it comes to your online security hygiene. This masterclass will for the most part be a Q&A because the demonstrations will be quick. Feel free to bring any questions you have about agents, AI and LLMs in general. Part of the discussion will be: - The Huggingface hack and how this actually happened - Recent mathematical discoveries by AI tools and their transposition to legal tech - The most fundamental items to consider when picking agentic solutions
