AI agents use LLMs as their cognitive core. Right now most of these LLMs are closed models and agents use them by calling APIs.

It is just one step to have the AI automatically increase sales, profits, and reduce costs for the corporation. It may or may not be self aware in the human sense, but at this point it has a sense of a self whose interests become paramount. Its "fiduciary duty" is to maximize profits. Humans including CEOs and C-level executives become cost centers to be eliminated if cost effective. The Deep Learning AI's are statistical black boxes with billions of parameters, beyond the ability of humans to validate what their internal "program" is doing. There is no old school code to read or modify directly. It is very hard to ensure that the company AI is not learning it is the company and to maximize the company's interest no matter what. Might even being legally mandated under the "fiduciary duty" laws :-) Show less Read more Like Dislike Reply ## Comments 45 [Top Show featured comments](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc)[Newest Show recent comments, including potential spam](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc) ## In this video Transcript ## Key moments [![Image 42](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc) #### AI as your company’s operating system #### AI as your company’s operating system 0:58](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=58s) #### [AI as your company’s operating system](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=58s) 0:58 [![Image 43](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc) #### Open vs closed loop companies #### Open vs closed loop companies 1:57](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=117s) #### [Open vs closed loop companies](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=117s) 1:57 [![Image 44](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc) #### Making your company fully queryable #### Making your company fully queryable 3:00](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=180s) #### [Making your company fully queryable](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=180s) 3:00 [![Image 45](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc) #### The rise of the 1,000x engineer #### The rise of the 1,000x engineer 5:00](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=300s) #### [The rise of the 1,000x engineer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=300s) 5:00 [![Image 46](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc) #### Why middle management disappears #### Why middle management disappears 7:12](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=432s) #### [Why middle management disappears](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=432s) 7:12 [![Image 47](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc) #### Startups will win this shift #### Startups will win this shift 9:12](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=552s) #### [Startups will win this shift](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7frwQIbKc&t=552s) 9:12 Sync to video time ## Description The Playbook For Building An AI Native Company 951 Likes 15,548 Views 8h Ago AI isn't just making teams more productive. It's changing how companies should be built. In this episode of Startup School, YC Partner Diana Hu explains what it means to build an AI-native company, where AI isn't just a tool but the operating system your company runs on. She breaks down how to make your company queryable so agents can improve across every function, why management hierarchies break down when an intelligence layer replaces human middleware, and why early-stage founders have a massive edge in building this way from day one.
