As many of you know, I follow the AI revolution with great interest as it is already changing our lives, and today I’m here to talk about what I believe will be the next step in this revolution.
First let's look at the
definition of an AI agent:
An artificial intelligence (AI) agent refers to a system or program that is capable of autonomously performing tasks on behalf of a user or another system by designing its workflow and utilizing available tools.
AI agents can encompass a wide range of functionalities beyond natural language processing including decision-making, problem-solving, interacting with external environments and executing actions.
So basically, AI agents will learn to complete tasks in the digital world just like a human. This means that most of what you do on your computer or phone today, an AI agent will be able to do for you.
Of course, this is going to have enormous economic implications, far more than it already has. OpenAI, for example, is increasing its revenue at a rapid pace. This isn't a matter of whether you like it or not. Everyone is going to use AI, and if your company doesn't, it will go bankrupt because all the others will (obviously, there are exceptions to this, for example, if you're the only baker in a remote village). If you're an individual, pretty soon not using AI will be like not using the internet or not using mobile phones.
I'm starting this thread so we can discuss the topic, and I'm eagerly waiting for the Luddites to chime in with their nonsense so I can have a friendly debate with them, lol.
