"Efforts for industrial AI deployment, under the automation agenda, increasingly promise to deliver highly capable agents that are simultaneously cheap to deploy (not requiring task-specific development or configuration), reliable, and genuinely autonomous. These goals are in direct tension with each other, to the point of imposing a trilemma – (1) completely autonomous, (2) reliable in high-stakes settings, (3) truly general purpose – pick two."
