Salesforce CEO on AI, robots, and the future of technology

Developments on the AI front are coming in hot and heavy. OpenAI is eyeing a huge capital raise. Microsoft (MSFT) is full steam ahead with a Copilot for everything. Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is whipping up humanoid robots. And bumbling lawmakers are still trying to figure out how to regulate the technology before the year 2040. And then there is a tech giant like Salesforce (CRM), which is going all in on “autonomous agents” to help unleash the power of businesses around the world. Salesforce says its agents could bring in big business and usher in a whole new way of closing deals. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Salesforce co-founder and CEO Marc Benioff – a champion of these agents – from inside the company’s annual extravaganza in San Francisco known as Dreamforce. How big is “Agentforce” going to be for Salesforce? Sozzi gets to the bottom of it! For full episodes of Opening Bid, watch on our website or listen on your favorite podcast platform.
