Challenges Of Building And Deploying AI Agents
Techstrong.ai, Tuesday, May 6th, 2025
Jim Richberg, head of cyber policy and global field CISO for Fortinet, dives into the challenges organizations will encounter as they build and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) agents.
In this Techstrong AI interview, Fortinet's Global Field CISO Jim Richberg discusses the evolving AI landscape, highlighting the distinction between predictive (discriminative) and generative AI. Predictive models have long been used to classify and analyze data, while generative models, like large language models (LLMs), create new content based on data patterns. Richberg notes that generative AI introduces more uncertainty due to its probabilistic nature, making it more suitable for creative and knowledge-driven tasks rather than deterministic applications like automation or safety-critical systems.
