How are AI agents shaping the future of fintech? ?? Tiffine Wang, global venture capitalist focused on AI and tech, shares insights directly from Silicon Valley, where she has observed the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) across industries and the future of work. While there has been talk of AI replacing humans, the reality is that your job will most likely be replaced by another human who knows how to navigate AI. In this piece Wang covers the key differences between chatbots, copilots and agents—and what sets AI agents apart. These interconnected systems share information, optimize processes and adapt collectively. The result? Greater efficiency and innovation. ?? As AI agents become more autonomous, Wang emphasizes the importance of embedding ethical principles, transparency, and human oversight into their design and use.
