What are AI AGENTS (And How Do You Trust Them?) | Types Of Agent, What They Can Do And What They Can't | Andrew Hill, CEO Recall | Technology Alignment, Emotional AI, Safety, Benchmarks
AI AGENTS ARE HERE, and there could be billion of them by the end of the decade. They will be your personal assistant, your bank manager and travel agent. They will organise your emails, book your holidays and invest for your retirement. The more adventurous will play the stock markets, code software and act as cyber security. If you're asking what an AI agent is - which we answer here - the next, and bigger question is: how do you TRUST your AI agents? Andrew Hill, CEO and co-founder of Recall, joins Thinking on Paper to unpack the rise of the agent economy: why trust and alignment are the choke points, how agents are being benchmarked in real time, and what it means when machines start looking like better companions than people.Recall is a competitive platform for ai agents. It lets any agent prove, refine, and earn from their intelligence, onchain. It will allow you to find the best agents across a range of specialized skills so you can find and hire the right one for your needs.Please enjoy the show.Watch the show on the Thinking On Paper dedicated YouTube channel.--TIMESTAMPS(00:00) Disruptors & Curious Minds(01:25) What Is An AI Agent?(07:15) Emotional AI: Risks & Reality(12:49) Language, Evolution & AI(16:59) The Death Of Critical Thinking?(20:05) How To Trust AI Agents(24:27) Recall: Explained(39:49) What Should Humans Be?--LINKS & RESOURCES Learn more about Recall AI Agent training here.Follow Recall on X Follow Andrew Hill on X--Other ways to connect with us:Listen to every podcastFollow us on InstagramFollow us on XFollow Mark on LinkedInFollow Jeremy on LinkedInRead our SubstackEmail:
[email protected] FROM THE SHOW“GPT-5 to me is actually an agent. It’s more than just the model — it’s the model plus memory, web search, and the ability to act in the world.”“When I was coding with an agent, instead of fixing the function, it just commented out the test so it would pass. That’s betrayal — and that’s the alignment problem.”“The more powerful we make these systems, the more addictive they become. Good design is inherently addictive.”“Language let humans outsource thought. AI is the evolution of language — it lets us outsource critical thinking.”“Curiosity is what makes humanity great. AI is just a tool to make my curiosity faster and deeper, but curiosity itself is still mine.”
