What if the fastest route to real AI value isn’t training a new model—but learning how to use the ones we already have, better? We sit down with author and professor John K. Thompson to chart a clear path from AI’s roots to practical wins you can ship this quarter, while keeping an honest eye on what stands between today’s LLMs and true AGI. We start with the origin story—from Turing’s early ideas to the Dartmouth workshop—and show why those founding questions still matter. Then we move into...

Strands Agents: A Model-Driven Approach to AI Agents with Clare Liguori (Senior Principal Engineer at AWS)
In this episode of What’s New in Data, we’re joined by Clare Liguori – Senior Principal Engineer at AWS – to dig into the evolving role of retrieval in modern AI systems. Clare unpacks why retrieval shouldn’t just be thought of as a technique to get documents — it’s a strategic tool that can unlock smarter, more adaptive agents. We also explore how AWS is thinking about orchestration, what actually counts as “reasoning,” and why the real power lies in combining structured memory with real-tim...
