Session (1)
Richard Socher, CEO and co-founder of You.com and an inventor of prompt engineering and word vectors, has spent the past year focused on agentic AI, the economics of cheap intelligence (his "Jevons Paradox of Intelligence" framing), and a contrarian "constructive optimism" reframing of AI-safety debates. His recent conference appearances and interviews make his session a good fit for attendees interested in where autonomous, agentic AI and AI-powered search are headed.
