Every year, the Social Security Administration issues nearly $1.5% trillion in benefits to 73 million recipients across the nation. And for 2 million of them, those payments could be cut in half as soon as this month. For more, Yahoo Finance senior columnist Carrie Hannon joins me now.So, Carrie, why is the government cutting these benefits. Yeah, Brad, this is uh something that's been in the works for a while, and it's actually been going on. It's the amount that um Social Security overpaid people uh in th ...

60 Minutes overtime. We always thought everything was good. We kept getting letters saying that they're increasing his payments. Then we get this letter saying we owe $51,000. This week on 60 Minutes, we take a look at what happens when Social Security overpays people who receive benefits. They can find out years and in some cases decades later that they owe thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. I'm Andy Court and I'm a producer at 60 Minutes. I'm Annabelle Hanfleig and I'm an associate producer at 60 ...

So robot body process automation is literally if human had to do something you basically open some browser or whatever take some data put into some other system click some button and all that stuff. So it records that human clicks on that desktop and tries to keep repeating it. So you kind of like get that automated and the hard part that they had is you can't do robotic process for unstructured data because it's not fixed they change it.So anything will be very very brutal. The bet that we are taking is th ...

作者 | 褚杏娟 对于业内讨论的一些问题，实在智能通过自身实践也给出了自己的答案。比如自研模型或垂直模型对于具体业务场景中的 Agent 研发是必要的，但大模 型自身并不能作为一种产品。又如，在支持 MCP 后，实在智能也发现不能过度依赖 MCP 服务，MCP 只是将一些问题进行了封装，但问题本质并没有 得到解决。 当下，智能体的热度已经无需再多赘述。这场智能体竞赛中，除了那些从新开始的"AI 原生"智能体应用外，还有一些应用在逐渐将智能体纳入产品构建 中，实在智能便是其中之一。 实在智能成立于 2018 年7月，以RPA为起点，融合AI技术，致力于通过人工智能技术助力人机协同，提供超自动化解决方案。随着技术发展，实在智能 对其"数字员工"产品不断升级：对RPA的底层能力做了大量的改造和增强，结合计算机视觉对底层架构进行了重构，并推出了国内首款通用智能体产 品。当前，实在智能已为超 4000 家企业客户部署了"数字员工"。 近日，InfoQ 对实在智能创始人兼 CEO 孙林君进行了一次采访，期间他详细回答了智能体技术路径选择、产品如何转型、智能体产品收费逻辑等问题。 智能体的实现路径 InfoQ：2018 年 ...

想写关于RPA的话题很久了。 这次终于找到了一个机会，看到了一些转折点。 是因为昨天打开影刀RPA，想搓一个自动跑图的自动化RPA流程的时候，发现他们更新了一个新功能。 魔法指令。 这个功能的作用非常简单，就是你现在可以通过AI，来用嘴搭建一套关于网页和数据的RPA流程了。 这是我觉得，一个非常棒的转折点。 只不过当下的时间点，我觉得很多人都已经陷入了某种AI幻觉里，觉得在当下的时间里，在当前的模型能力下，一切都可以Agent，一切都该Agent，一 切都是Agent牛逼。 但真的去做落地项目，做业务流程，做一些自动化任务的朋友都知道，你让Agent做着做着，就会从"卧槽牛逼哎，他自己看到错了自己去别的地方找 哎"，变成"尼玛怎么又崩了？"、"怎么这一步又理解错了？"、"神经病吧。" 尤其是，越是复杂的流程，越是讲究高精度、不能出错、重复运行的业务，一旦Agent的推理链条超过十步，它有的时候就越来越像是在抽卡。 这个痛点，我在好几个访谈里都说过。 比如你现在做一个复杂、重复的操作流程，要Agent完成20个步骤，哪怕每一步成功率99%，那整体成功率是多少？ 0.99的20次方，大概是82%。 听起来不低是吧 ...
