AI Agent Architect’s Monday Morning Briefing 🌟
Week Commencing April 14th 2025
This week I have to do something I don’t want to. Speak highly of my former employer…
But, credit where it’s due.
This AWS article on Amazon Bedrock Guardrails is pretty good and gives practical value for those implementing AI safety measures.
The paper that caught my eye this week is from DiSanto's work offering a compelling philosophical reframing of AI limitations, arguing that the gap between human and artificial intelligence isn't computational but fundamentally experiential—explaining why even advanced AI systems lack contextual understanding that comes naturally to humans.
As someone working with Agentics, I like this a lot based on my emerging philosophy of the Repeatable Expertise Pattern and what I’m seeing in client work every day.
