Description

BASELINE exposes the truth behind AI’s unstoppable rise. In-depth interviews with AI experts, real analysis, and insights you can trust on the technology reshaping our world.

Sam Empson is one of the most exciting engineers working at the edge of AI. In this episode, he shares how he is building agentic systems that do more than generate language. These systems reason, plan, retrieve data, and take meaningful action in the real world.From synthetic empathy that boosts customer satisfaction to intelligent reinforcement modeling shaped by behaviour analysis and rubrics, Sam explains how these systems are designed, refined, and deployed at scale.

He also gives us a look into his own development process, using cutting-edge tools like Cursor to work faster and smarter with AI in the loop. This is not speculation. Sam is leading the way, and his clarity, energy, and technical insight make this conversation essential for anyone building the future of AI.
