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.
AI significantly boosts the work process for IT workers. I'm a UI/UX designer in a very successful company and we use the English language for communication. I often have meetings with developers, product owners and stakeholders. I use Granola AI, I record meeting videos and it helps me to take raw meeting notes. Sadly, I don't know front-end development, I can't write code but I use Lovable.dev AI and it helps me to create an HTML/CSS version of my design.
AI is becoming very important. I'd say that it takes the place of junior developers, so it's becoming harder for juniors to land a job. Btw I understand the importance of AI and I already try to maximise its benefits but at the same time, I think that we shouldn't make our skills too dependent on AI. Despite the AI usage, I work hard to improve my UI/UX skills. Btw AI greatly helps me and saves me time on UX persona creation.
