Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, Mark Geene of robotic process automation (RPA) vendor UiPath discusses the evolution of RPA and the emergence of agentic AI. He explains how these technologies are transforming business processes, the importance of governance and compliance, and the future of work with digital workers. Geene also highlights the role of data in enabling effective AI agents and shares insights on the competitive landscape of RPA vendors.

RPA automates repetitive tasks and is limited to deterministic workflows
Agentic AI combines deterministic and ad hoc processes for greater flexibility
Governance and compliance are critical for successful automation
Orchestration allows for effective collaboration between agents, robots, and humans
Data is essential for providing context to AI agents
Narrowly scoped agents can operate with more autonomy
The future of work will see agents supervising business processes
