There are a number of Global thought leaders and recognised “gurus” who have been at the forefront in arguing for the importance of AI agents and the transformative effect they will have on spreading the benefits of AI across the world. We feel they should be recognised and lauded for their efforts to date. We want current and future AI agent developers to know about those who have been the leaders in this field so that they can follow their activities and even research their earlier YouTube videos, lectures , articles, research papers and books if they wish.
