A History of Modern Agents with Kelsey Szot

How did we get from language models to AI agents that can take action? Dr. Danielle Perszyk sits down with Kelsey Szot, product lead at Amazon's AGI Lab and one of the original founders of Adept (a startup that helped pioneer modern AI agents) to discuss the technical breakthroughs that transformed AI from pattern recognition to agentic capabilities. Danielle and Kelsey trace the evolution from early distributed training at scale to today's autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and interact with real environments—exploring the shift from rigid, rules-based automation to AI that can generalize across changing interfaces and complex workflows.
