Doug Laney coined the three V's of big data in 2001. On this episode of the Data Faces podcast, he names the next three for the agentic AI era: volition, visibility, and viscosity.
David Sweenor and Doug Laney get into the seven levels of agentic autonomy, from a basic chatbot to a business that runs itself, why labor savings are the least imaginative way to value an AI agent, who really owns your data, and what it would take for a billion-dollar company to run on a handful of people.
Doug Laney is the Innovation Fellow for Data and Analytics Strategy at West Monroe, author of Infonomics and Data Juice, and a former Gartner Distinguished Analyst.
Key takeaways:
- The three new V's of agentic AI: volition, visibility, and viscosity- The seven levels of agentic AI autonomy, and where most companies actually sit- Substitution, amplification, and invention: a better way to value agents- Warranted delegation over blind trust, the brakes before the accelerator- Why data is the strangest and most renewable asset a company owns
