Ariel Shulman of Bright Data discusses agentic artificial intelligence, AI, at the AI Agent Conference 2026 during the theCUBE and NYSE Wired Mixture of Experts session. Shulman outlines Bright Data's evolution from a proxy provider to a large-scale enterprise web data platform that structures public internet information for enterprise use. They explain how Bright Data supplies text, audio and video datasets to train and feed large language models, LLMs, and agents and how the newly released MCP protocol enables faster integrated access for builders. The theCUBE Research segment is hosted by Gemma Allen of theCUBE. Key takeaways include Bright Data's legal victories in disputes with Meta and Twitter, which Shulman says reinforce the permissibility of collecting publicly available web data. They emphasize subsecond scraping performance to support real-time agent responses. Shulman describes MCP as a "USB cable" for connecting agents to Bright Data's platform. They highlight success-based billing and token-efficient synthesis as cost-control strategies that preserve user trust and enable scalable agentic commerce. The segment covers product strategy, data collection and web scraping for enterprise builders and AI developers seeking real-time web data and integrated agent workflows.
