- Building AI Agents Part 1: Defining Purpose, Designing Prompts, and Selecting Models
The critical first steps that determine whether your AI agent succeeds or fails in production — with real examples from banking, retail, and healthcare A healthcare startup spent six months building an AI agent for patient triage. They used the latest GPT-4 model. They hired experienced ML engineers. They built a beautiful interface. The demo impressed investors. Then they launched to real clinics. Within days, nurses stopped using it. The agent asked irrelevant questions. It missed critical symptoms. It provided inconsistent advice. Sometimes it was too cautious, sending patients with minor issues to emergency rooms. Other times it was too aggressive, dismissing serious conditions. The problem was not the model. The problem was not the code. The problem was foundation. They skipped the critical first steps. They never properly defined the purpose. They rushed through prompt design. They chose the wrong model configuration. Three months and significant rework later, they got it right.

- ‘The Oppenheimer’ of the AI Era
What drives the tech titans behind the AI arms race? For some, it's the thrill of scientific discovery; for others, it's the pursuit of profit. Through the story of DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis and other AI leaders, author Sebastian Mallaby explores how motivations ranging from scientific curiosity to commercial ambition and political power are shaping the future of the technology. We sat down with Mallaby to discuss the fraught and simultaneously symbiotic tension between science and capital at the heart of the AI revolution, and whether governments are prepared for systems becoming dramatically more powerful.

- Prompt Chaining: Multi-Step AI Workflows
A single prompt can only take you so far. The real power unlocks when you connect outputs to inputs — building pipelines that tackle work no single prompt could ever handle alone. There is a hard limit to what a single prompt can accomplish. Not a context-window limit — a cognitive limit. When you ask an AI to simultaneously research a topic, synthesise findings, draft a document, adjust the tone, extract key points, and format everything for three different audiences, none of those tasks gets the AI’s full attention. Every one of them suffers. Prompt chaining is the solution. Instead of overloading one prompt with an entire project, you break the work into focused steps — each prompt receiving the previous step’s output as its input. The AI handles each stage with full precision, and the cumulative result is work that a single prompt could never produce. This is how professionals who use AI seriously actually work. Not one big sprawling prompt, but an engineered sequence — a pipeline

Roles, context, format, and constraints — the four building blocks that separate a mediocre AI interaction from a truly powerful one. Most people hand the AI a task and wonder why the result feels generic. The reason is almost always the same: the task alone is not enough. A task tells the AI what to do. The four layers tell it how to do it — from whose perspective, with what background, in what form, and within what guardrails. Think of it like hiring a brilliant freelancer. Saying “write me a blog post” gets you something. Saying “you’re a fintech copywriter, our audience is CFOs who distrust AI, write 800 words in a confident-but-measured tone, no bullet points, open with a counterintuitive claim” — that gets you something publishable. Layer 1: Role Who is the AI in this conversation? The Role is the first thing you set — and the one most beginners skip entirely. Assigning a role is not roleplay. It’s a compression mechanism.

- AI Will Not Fix a Team That Lacks Engineering Discipline
Faster code does not mean better engineering A team with unclear requirements, weak tests, messy ownership, and fragile deployments does not become high-performing because someone installed GitHub Copilot. It may simply create bad code faster. That is the part many teams are starting to learn. AI tools can help developers move quickly. They can generate boilerplate, explain unfamiliar code, suggest tests, summarize logs, and compare architecture options. Used well, they are genuinely useful. But AI does not fix poor engineering habits. If a team already skips design discussions, ignores observability, avoids refactoring, merges weak pull requests, and treats production issues as surprises, AI will not solve the root problem. It will amplify it. The uncomfortable truth is simple: AI improves disciplined teams more than undisciplined ones. That does not mean only elite teams should use AI. It means teams need to understand what AI is good at, where it is dangerous, and which fundamentals

The investigator asked: “Show me which patients’ data your AI accessed.” The CTO opened the logging dashboard. Empty. OpenAI keeps abuse logs for 30 days. HIPAA requires 6 years. Settlement: $1.5M.

Hospital had API call timestamps but couldn’t prove which patient’s data the AI accessed. Settlement: $1.5M for failure to implement audit controls per §164.312(b). Audit trail failures are now the fastest-growing HIPAA violation category as organizations deploy LLM-powered clinical systems that process protected health information without logging which patient’s data the AI accessed, when, or why — and when OCR investigates breaches or complaint-driven audits, the first question is always “prove your AI only accessed authorized patient records,” but healthcare systems discover OpenAI’s default abuse monitoring logs retain prompts for 30 days maximum wh
