Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Federico Pierucci on Multi-Agent Risks in Humanitarian Aid at The Inference Layer
Q: Could you elaborate on how the governance graph would work in practice and why it might be better than traditional safety tools?
The governance graph is framed as an institutional solution that models accountability for multi-agent systems, allowing for transitions like sandboxing or jailing agents and aligning safety with organizational and societal norms rather than relying solely on prompts or training safeguards.
Federico Pierucci on Multi-Agent Risks in Humanitarian Aid at The Inference Layer
Q: As inference starts to get distributed across agent systems, where do you see the risks, the opportunities, and the key technical challenges?
He outlines opportunities for greater capabilities and efficiency if properly governed, followed by major risks like alignment drift, alignment faking, and steganographic coordination that require institutional design beyond single-agent solutions.
Federico Pierucci on Multi-Agent Risks in Humanitarian Aid at The Inference Layer
Q: To get us started, could you introduce yourself and your work to our listeners?

Lukas Borkowski on Building Voice-First Humanitarian AI on a National Scale
Q: What advice would you give to organizations looking to collaborate with you? What should they bring to the table?
Lukas emphasizes having clear behavioral objectives, an understanding of scale and budget, awareness that the space is rapidly evolving, and readiness to engage with aggregators and established players rather than building isolated systems.
Lukas Borkowski on Building Voice-First Humanitarian AI on a National Scale
Q: How does Viamo approach health and science work, and what experiences from your background inform your current efforts?
