āš™ļøAI Agents Transform Software From Tool to Worker

AI Agents are leading a paradigm shift from Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to Service-as-Software (SaS).

Key Details:
  • In the SaaS era, companies built software to assist employees with their workflows.

  • For example, Salesforce offers SaaS tools to help sales representatives manage customer interactions to close deals more efficiently.

  • However, these SaaS tools still rely on sales representatives to manually add customer interactions correctly and accurately.

  • Now, SaaS is undergoing a massive transition into SaS with the rise of AI Agents: virtual employees who can think, reason, and adapt to autonomously perform tasks.

  • Instead of just buying a SaaS tool, companies are buying an AI Agent that operates the SaaS tool, handling most of the tasks an employee would.

Why It’s Important:
  • When companies buy SaaS tools like Quickbooks, Salesforce, or HubSpot, they get a resource that boosts an employee’s productivity.

  • SaS handles most of the tasks an employee would, but with greater efficiency and without needing breaks, training, or management.

NVIDIA

šŸ”¬Nvidia Tackles Genomic Research and Drug Discovery

Nvidia announced several new partnerships to transform the $10 trillion healthcare and life sciences industry with AI Apps, AI Agents, and AI Systems.

Key Details:
  • Nvidia is collaborating with IQVIA, Illumina, Mayo Clinic, and Arc Institute to advance drug discovery and accelerate genomic breakthroughs.

  • Arc Institute is leveraging NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs to power the first biological Foundation Model trained on DNA to predict and design genetic sequences.

  • Mayo Clinic is developing AI-powered Digital Pathology with 20 million whole-slide images and 10 million patient records.

Why It’s Important:
  • DNA holds the genetic blueprint for life itself. Understanding how it works enables scientists to develop new drugs and allows doctors to assess a patient’s likelihood of having specific diseases.

  • Instead of examining tissue samples under a microscope, Digital Pathology allows Mayo Clinic to create digital images of tissue samples for remote consultations.

🪨OpenAI’s New BlackRock Board Member

OpenAI recently appointed Adebayo ā€œBayoā€ Ogunlesi, a Senior Managing Partner and Chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners at BlackRock, to the company’s Board of Directors (BofD).

Mr. Ogunlesi has experience with expanding a company’s sales and brand awareness into foreign markets. He’ll help OpenAI navigate the global transformation of AI infrastructure to ā€œdrive innovation and foster economic growth.ā€

OpenAI recently raised $6.6 billion, valuing the company at $157 billion. However, the investors required OpenAI to transition the company’s ā€œcapped profitā€ framework into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) that’s no longer controlled by a non-profit BofD.

🩺 PULSE CHECK

Does adding Mr. Ogunlesi to the BofD signal OpenAI’s focus on profit?
