Step aside, there’s a new hot AI job in town.

Companies are seeking AI orchestrators who can ensure their agents are working nicely with one another.

An AI orchestrator, you say? Armando Franco, senior director of cloud and platform modernization at TEKsystems Global Services, described the AI orchestrator role as the human in the loop who helps coordinate work between agents.

“Basically, they are the people that get AI processes handed off to them and work toward ensuring that…agents themselves, once they are released into production, are working collaboratively [and] that they are working within their boundaries,” Franco said.

“If an agent goes out and gets a bunch of data, and then takes a decision to say, ‘I’m going to do X with this data,’ an AI orchestrator will generally review that to ensure that the decision is ready to be handed off to the next agent to create a little bit more security around the process and the data to ensure that the governance is in place and to ensure that the agents are acting correctly,” he added.
