HPE CEO says reasoning tools are the 'next big thing' in AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a key theme among business leaders at the 2025 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) CEO Antonio Neri sits down with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to discuss the rapidly evolving tech. Neri says he was "surprised at the beginning" at the rapid pace that AI tech has advanced, "but as we provide a lot of the infrastructure and the services to train or influence this model, I became less surprised." "I think now we are looking what is the next big inflection point," Neri tells Yahoo Finance, adding, "We're moving to more the agent tech model, which is basically stitching together different agents that are good at specific tasks to basically provide an outcome out of our workflow, and now, obviously, the next big thing is the reasoning." Watch the video above to learn about Neri's expectations for the evolving AI era. Click here for more of Yahoo Finance's coverage from the World Economic Forum in Davos.
