As an agent performs a task (e.g., \u201cReview this legal contract\u201d), it gets human feedback (\u201cThis clause was too aggressive\u201d). That feedback isn\u2019t just a correction; it\u2019s training data that makes the agent more valuable for the next task. This creates a winner-take-all dynamic for whoever has the most active agents in a specific niche.<\/p>\n<p>We are moving toward an outcome-based economy. However, the real \u201cgold rush\u201d isn\u2019t in building the smartest AI; it\u2019s in building the safest and most connected AI\u2014the one that humans trust enough to give the \u201ckeys\u201d to their bank accounts, their calendars, and their businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Moat: The moat is no longer how smart your AI is; it\u2019s what your AI is allowed to touch.
