Agents will eventually outnumber humans by orders of magnitude.
Aaron Levie on the infrastructure that will be needed to manage them:
"Whether you think the number is 10x or 100x... we're going to have some order of magnitude more agents than people."
"There's going to be just incredibly spectacularly crazy security incidents that will happen with agents, because you'll prompt-inject an agent and find your way through the CRM system and pull out data you shouldn't have access to."
"How do you make sure you have the right security, the permissions, the access controls, the data governance?"
"We actually don't yet exactly know in many cases how we're going to regulate some of these agents."
"No matter what, there's going to need to be a layer that manages the data they have access to and the workflows they're involved in."
"This is the new infrastructure opportunity in the era of agents." @levie on @latentspacepodShow More
