Why Knowledge-Based Agents Are The Future Of More Trustworthy AI
Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash There's a common issue with generative AI. I'll explain with an example from a friend. She was drafting her biweekly newsletter. The theme is travel. She created a list of her favorite restaurants in Rome and asked ChatGPT to fill in the corresponding locations. Within seconds, it churned out the list with street addresses for each. She copied and pasted it into her newsletter and hit send. The problem? Half of the addresses were 100% incorrect. ChatGPT and other generative AI tools are people pleasers. They would rather say anything, including factually incorrect answers, aka hallucinations, than admit they're unsure of the information. Knowledge-based AI agents are different—and in many ways more reliable. Here's why. Imagine receiving a research task—explain how to write a screenplay—and having carte blanche on where to look for the answer. You may have unlimited resources at your fingertips, but you also have a wide berth on how to answer the question. You might pull advice from dozens of screenwriting blogs, Reddit threads, and Medium posts. The result could be an answer that sounds confident but blends conflicting guidance and unvetted opinions. Now, imagine receiving the same task but access to just one book: Syd Field's Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting. Your answer would be narrower, yes—but also traceable, grounded in a known methodology, and more likely to be consistent. That's how knowledge-based AI agents work: they reason from a fixed, deliberately created source instead of improvising based on massive datasets and probabilistic guesses. They use curated knowledge to generate answers and make decisions in real-world situations. Transparency is one of the key strengths of knowledge-based agents. Because they follow defined rules and rely on sources you select, you can trace their reasoning step by step. A tool like Text Cortex, for instance, shows exactly where it sourced its information—something especially useful for organizations navigating compliance and regulatory demands. These agents are also adaptable. If a reference is updated or conditions change, they can automatically incorporate new information. And when conflicts arise, they can flag them for human review, streamlining operations without compromising accuracy or trust. Personally, I love these agents because they help organizations scale decision-making without sacrificing transparency. As Reid Hoffman and Greg Beato explain in Superagency, sometimes you want to collaborate with AI, like when learning a new skill. Other times, like optimizing energy use based on real-time data, you want it to act autonomously. In both cases, AI boosts your agency by helping you take smarter actions toward your goals. Getting started with knowledge-based agents is pretty simple. To create the knowledge base, you can add any files, links, websites, and materials that you would like your agent to reference. If you're wondering what are the best uses for knowledge-based agents, consider any processes that tend to be rule-heavy or regulated. In terms of tasks, these agents excel at searching, learning, and training. In healthcare, for example, you can use knowledge-based agents to provide quick and accurate medical guidance based on defined medical references. In finance, you can use agents to field customer queries and provide account details. In e-commerce, you can use knowledge-based agents to offer product recommendations. Take Alibaba, the global commerce juggernaut—it launched Accio, an AI-powered B2B search engine for product sourcing. To ensure the information it provides is accurate and useful, Accio uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which pulls data only from sources trusted by its underlying knowledge base. If the AI encounters uncertainty, it flags it instead of offering potentially inaccurate guesses, according to In short, it admits its shortcomings rather than making stuff up. We're solidly in the era of AI. As reliance on these tools grows, so does skepticism—trust and transparency are more important than ever, especially when it comes to critical business decisions. Knowledge-based agents offer a compelling alternative to generative AI: while the latter can be incredibly useful, it's not always reliable. If you're looking for a business solution grounded in accuracy and traceability, it's time to start exploring what knowledge-based agents can do. Because sometimes, the best answer isn't the fastest one—it's the one you can trust.

3 potential AI stock winners from the $500 billion Stargate project
3 potential AI stock winners from the $500 billion Stargate project Show Caption Hide Caption While many fear AI, others embrace its capacity to give us superagency In LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman's new book, "Superagency," he argues that our AI fears are overblown. If there were any fears that spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure was about to slow down, that was put to rest when President Donald Trump announced the new Stargate AI project last week. Backed by OpenAI, Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), and Japan's Softbank, the consortium plans to spend $500 billion over the next four years building out data centers to help handle the growing AI workload. The consortium plans to initially construct 10 data centers and then expand to 20. Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison said data center construction was already underway, with the first set to be built in Abilene, Texas. Softbank is the main financial backer, with $100 billion set to be deployed immediately. The project announcement said Oracle, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and OpenAI would collaborate to build and operate the venture's computing system, while OpenAI would be responsible for overseeing the venture's operations. With such a huge project underway, let's look at three potential AI winners from this venture. 1. Nvidia Nvidia will undoubtedly be the biggest winner of the Stargate project. The company will be involved in building the data centers' computing systems, which will no doubt consist of a whole lot of Nvidia's graphic processing units (GPUs). With a 90% market share in the GPU space and a major role in the project, it will likely be the only supplier of GPUs for these data centers. In the past, when Microsoft has talked about its capex (capital expenditures) spending on AI, it has said that about half goes toward assets with long practical lives (the land and buildings, for example), while the other half goes toward GPU and CPU (central processing unit) servers. As such, this indicates that a lot of this project's costs will be directed toward Nvidia's GPUs. Stargate could also spur further AI data center investments for other large tech companies. Microsoft, which is Nvidia's largest customer, already announced it would spend $80 billion on AI data centers, while Meta Platforms just announced it would spend $65 billion on AI infrastructure this year. The AI race is heating up, and Nvidia looks like the biggest beneficiary. Meanwhile, the stock remains reasonably valued, trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of only about 32.5 based on 2025 analyst estimates and a price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG) of 1. A PEG under 1 is generally considered undervalued, but growth stocks often command PEGs well above 1. 2. Oracle With Oracle as part of the consortium behind Stargate, the company is looking to elevate itself in the cloud computing space. It's a distant fifth in cloud computing market share, with only 3%. It's behind the big three cloud computing companies — Amazon (31% market share), Microsoft (20%) and Alphabet (12%) — and trails China's Alibaba (4%) as well. Nonetheless, Oracle has been seeing strong growth in the cloud computing space. Last quarter, its cloud revenue jumped 24% year over year to $5.9 billion, with cloud infrastructure revenue surging 52% to $2.4 billion and cloud application revenue increasing 10% to $3.5 billion. Its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) consumption revenue soared by 52%, while GPU consumption skyrocketed by 336%. It boasted that OCI was faster and less costly than other cloud networks and that it was training some of the world's most important generative AI models. The company also noted that its customers include OpenAI, xAI, Cohere, and Meta Platforms. One advantage Oracle has in the cloud computing space is that its data centers are relatively new. It also has multi-cloud agreements with the big three cloud computing companies, allowing customers to use its services with multiple cloud providers within a single environment. While its cloud business is doing well, Stargate represents a huge revenue growth opportunity for the company. Even with the first data center under construction, it will take time before it is built and then ramps up. As such, expect it to start to be a big growth driver in a couple of years. Morgan Stanley has estimated the first data center could add $10 billion in annual revenue in fiscal year 2027 (ending May 2027). 3. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) While not involved in the Stargate project, more data center spending means the need for more advanced chips, which means Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), or TSMC for short, is once again a big beneficiary. The company is the world's largest semiconductor contract manufacturer and is the primary manufacturer of Nvidia's GPUs. With its rivals Intel and Samsung struggling, TSMC has flourished. Its strength in 3-nanometer and 5-nanometer technologies makes it the undisputed leader in high-performance computing. In Q4, its revenue surged 37%. The company's leadership position has also given it strong pricing power. It has reportedly once again raised prices for its services this year. This has also been leading to gross margin expansion, with its gross margins improving by 600 basis points year over year to 59% in Q4. Between Stargate, Microsoft, and Meta's AI infrastructure spending, there will be a lot of future demand for TSMC's chipmaking services. Expect this to continue to drive strong growth in the years ahead as the company increases its own manufacturing capacity. The stock also trades at an attractive valuation, with a forward P/E ratio of under 25 times 2025 analyst estimates.

LinkedIn Founder Reid Hoffman sees bright AI future and hopes his tech peers are right about Trump
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman has been immersed in Silicon Valley since his August 1967 birth in Palo Alto, California, in the shadow of Stanford University, where he and fellow technology luminary Peter Thiel became friends as college students during the 1980s. They went on to start PayPal during the late 1990s while working alongside a coterie of other bright-eyed entrepreneurs who went on to even bigger things, just as Hoffman did. That group — dubbed the 'PayPal Mafia' — included Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, and YouTube co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. Now worth an estimated $2.6 billion, Hoffman has been at the forefront of the artificial intelligence craze while investing in trailblazing startups such as ChatGPT maker OpenAI and Inflection. Unlike other prominent technologists who are worried about AI destroying humanity, Hoffman has co-written a new book called 'Superagency' that makes an optimistic case for AI. He recently talked with The Associated Press. Q: Are humans creating something smarter than themselves with AI? A: You already have some version of superintelligence right now. Obviously, we will be increasing that superintelligence, so we need to be thinking about which ways it's going to be making great additions and which ways it's going to make things more challenging. Humans are generally bad at transitions, and that is part of the reason for writing books like 'Superagency,' to try to say there are some positive design principles, some positive outcomes that we should be trying to work our way toward. Q: Do you think there is a chance that these superintelligent AI agents eventually may seem omniscient? A: AI agents are pretty useful for coaching and advising. Like if you were to say, 'Hey, how should I approach this thorny problem?' An AI agent can be a pretty good advice-giving coach. And so you can imagine it being a useful tutor across a wide variety of subjects, including even spiritual or counseling or mental ones. And I think that could be positive for the evolution of humanity, having something talking to us that is infinitely patient and is trying to help us get to our better selves. So, yes, you could have a 'Consult the Oracle' situation with AI agents. Q: What's the risk of some people embracing AI as a bosom buddy and becoming more socially isolated? A: Some of that will happen for sure, the same way some people isolated themselves with TV or the internet. Part of this will be about the design focus. If you go to Inflection's AI agent, Pi, and say, 'Hey you're my best friend,' Pi, will say, 'No, I am your AI companion, let's talk about your friendships. Have you seen any of your friends recently or want to see them?' We want AI agents being softly and gently encouraging, to be tied into the human circumstance, which I think is what most people really want. Q: On the flip side, as these AI agents become more human-like, could that get people more in touch with their own humanity? A: Our humanity is expressed in how we incorporate technology in our lives, just as we are communicating through Zoom for this interview. I think that is part of our humanity. Q: Switching topics, are you worried about President Trump retaliating against you for being one of Kamala Harris' biggest supporters in Silicon Valley leading up to last year's election? 2024 obviously was a very intense year and what I am trying not to do is speculate too much about that because in 2025 I am going to really focus on how I build and fund really interesting AI companies and other areas that help build industries that make a difference. My obvious hope is that the incoming administration will turn to a positive agenda. I kind of feel at this point that speculation is not really helpful. We will see in a couple of months how it's all going to play out. Q: Were you surprised by how much support President Trump got from other technology billionaires like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen? A: It wasn't surprising that the people who were very intensely pro-cryptocurrency were pro-Trump because the Biden administration was so negative on crypto. Also the fact that the Biden administration — unlike the Obama administration — was not putting in a lot of energy into saying, 'Hey we think that new technology and new technology companies of the future are really important.' And I think a bunch of the Biden administration staff was somewhat negative on large, tech companies. What did surprise me — and now I am very much hoping they are right — is that they thought the Trump administration would be very strongly and thoughtfully pro business across the arena. Let's see what happens with tariffs, let's hope that it doesn't play out in a particularly challenging way. A: Do you think your old PayPal colleagues Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are playing a form of political chess? The thing that is so important about Silicon Valley is the broadly held belief — even if it's manifested differently in Peter versus me or other people, — is that the creation of new technology companies is how progress is made. And I think it's an important mission for the country and the world as well as Silicon Valley. The degree to which they are playing chess around that, I don't know. But I think they are driven on that mission and part of what they are doing is trying to make sure that mission is fully realized in the Trump administration. Q: Do you agree with Trump's supporters in Silicon Valley that it's time to ease up on the rigorous regulation of tech that we had during President Biden's administration? A: I do. I hope there will be much more enablement of technology innovation. Q: Going back to your book, what do you say about AI pioneers like Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton who now see the technology as a threat to humanity? A: I tend to rate a lot of risks based on how does it compare to my risk to driving to the airport because every time you get in a car and drive to the airport, the highest risk of the journey is on the drive and not on the plane. If the risk is in the automobile-level of percentage, then I don't worry about it that much. And, if you say, 'Well this is much bigger, this could be an existential human risk.' Then I say, 'Well, yeah, that's part of the reason you put more energy into being protective in navigating and steering it.' Sign in to access your portfolio
