About this event
Priberam Machine Learning Lunch Seminar
Abstract:
LLMs now ace coding tasks or olympiad math, but still can’t reliably finish a routine back-office task, let alone repeat it thousands of times. I believe computer use is the last frontier of LLM agents, and probably the most consequential one in regulated industries. In this talk I’ll cover the state of the art in computer-use agents, from visual grounding and GUI world models to reinforcement learning on agentic environments. I’ll also get into the alignment risks that show up when agents stop suggesting and start acting. Finally, I’ll share what we’ve learned at Opnova deploying computer-use agents for enterprise operations in regulated banking, where reliability, auditability, and continual learning aren’t optional.
