Half The Workforce Will Be AI Agents

This is quite the prediction - half the workforce will be AI Agents in less than five years.

That’s according to Manny Medina, CEO of Paid, who discusses the growth of AI-agents with Tom Mackenzie on Bloomberg.

AI agents are autonomous software systems that can perceive, reason, and take action to achieve objectives based on instructions, often using natural language as their interface.

In this long-listen I sit down with my Harvard Kennedy School colleague Jim Mulhall. We both sat beside one another during this summer's AI and Public Policy class at Harvard.

A guest speak at my book launch, Jim brings exceptional insight into how AI can be leveraged for crisis management. He also publishes a weekly AI newsletter on Substack, called Resiliency Expertise which is definitely worth a subscribe.

Jim is a crisis management and risk intelligence leader exploring how artificial intelligence can transform resilience and organisational preparedness. With more than 15 years of leadership across financial services and consulting, he has directed crisis teams, led fraud intelligence programs, and pioneered big data approaches to fraud detection.

Most recently, James served as Vice President and Supervisor of the Crisis Management Group at City National Bank, where he established a dedicated enterprise-wide function integrated with Business Continuity. In this role, he led a cross-functional crisis team, built crisis management infrastructure and protocols, and directed responses to incidents ranging from natural disasters to cyber outages.

Meta, the company still best known to many as the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp parent company, has widened access to its Llama models, opening the door to more governments across the world.

Meta’s Llama models (Llama 2 and newer) are generally accessible under an open-source-like license not strictly limited by government lists, but Meta has been strengthening partnerships with governments and institutions focused on strategic and responsible AI rollout.

Who gets access?

• Leading democratic and allied countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) have been prominent in collaborations around AI safety, governance, and technology sharing through Llama and similar models.
• European partners (France, Germany, Italy), Japan, and South Korea have been highlighted in recent Meta announcements and press coverage as part of expanded outreach or AI model availability, often in the context of responsible innovation and digital sovereignty.
• NATO and the European Union as multilateral institutions are increasingly involved in AI strategy, and Meta has engaged with them via policy and research partnerships, but granting "access" usually refers to sharing research, toolkit deployments, and policy dialogue rather than uniquely privileged access to the Llama models.
