The good, the bad, and the future of AI agents

In this episode of Decoder, host Hayden Field discusses advancements in AI, focusing on Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5, which is designed for autonomous, agentic tasks, especially in software development. David Hershey from Anthropic explains that the model can function independently for up to 30 hours, representing progress towards autonomous AI capable of complex project management. However, the episode points out that many users are ill-prepared for using these AI systems in lengthy, unsupervised scenarios. Despite excitement from companies like Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI about the productivity potential, significant challenges remain in deploying these technologies outside controlled environments. Hershey emphasizes that improving reliability and practical applications of AI agents is crucial for their future use. The episode invites listeners to explore related insights on Claude Sonnet 4.5 and the evolving AI landscape.

Music’s biggest labels are weeks away from major AI licensing deals

Universal Music and Warner Music are close to finalizing licensing agreements with major tech companies, including Google and Spotify, as well as various AI startups, aiming to establish new protocols for the integration of artificial intelligence in the music industry. According to the Financial Times, these discussions focus on the licensing of songs for AI model training and the creation of AI-generated music. A key aspect of the negotiations is compensation, with the music labels advocating for a model similar to streaming, where artists receive micropayments for usage. To facilitate this compensation framework, AI developers would need to construct software capable of accurately monitoring and tracking the utilization of music.

Amazon says its AI will let NBA fans track brand-new stats

New analytical tools, delivered through Amazon Web Services’ AI-driven basketball intelligence platform “NBA Inside the Game,” are set to enhance the NBA viewing experience for the 2025-2026 season. This platform will unveil advanced metrics that track individual defenders during offensive plays and assess shot difficulty by monitoring 29 body parts per player to reveal previously unmeasured gameplay aspects. Notable new statistics include the Expected Field Goal Percentage, which estimates a shot's success likelihood based on shooter position and defender placements, and a metric called Gravity, which analyses player movements and defensive interactions for personalized advantages. A Defensive Score Box will provide detailed insights into defensive contributions, such as rebounds and blocks. Fans can also utilize the Play Finder tool to search NBA footage by specific plays, with these updates accessible during live broadcasts and on the NBA app and website. This initiative builds on the NBA's ongoing partnership with Amazon, which began with a 2024 agreement to stream 66 regular-season games annually on Prime Video, affirming AWS's role as the NBA's official cloud and AI partner, including for the WNBA.
