The next step in the AI revolution: AI Agents

[shinratensei_]

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.

I guess this part is alright: "AI agents will learn to complete tasks in the digital world just like a human". But this part is definitely funny: "Most of what you do on your computer or phone today, an AI agent will be able to do for you.". If AI does everything for us, then what are we going to do?

I think many people have a misconception about AI technology... This technology has been around for some time, and it's improving day by day, but it still does not have "superpowers", the question is whether it will ever have them.

believe it or not an AI is just few step away from doing that if not for security reason where the OS purposefully made to not be able to be controlled by external entity easily, most of AI can already do the tasks for you.
right now most of OS already integrating AI to the system, soon, they will also introduce feature where AI will do tasks for you but right now we're still too early. even your current phone might already have NPU processor to facilitate this. you're closer to AI doing everything for you than it looked like.

[pinggoki]

They probably need to perfect how AI does it's thing right now before they can do this kind of thing, as much as I like the idea of automation, seeing how AI is only utilized to steal arts from real artists and solely for marketing, it's probably a long way before we could see this kind of "AI agents", premature introduction of this product to the market might lead to dire consequences, imagine your AI driver going haywire and using the sidewalk as a freeway, that's not going to be a good time to be in that seat when that happens.

I think that the most useful functions of AI agents are coding and working with videos, which allows, for example, creating videos, including commercials. Thus, in the field of content creation, costs are reduced by orders of magnitude. As for coding, the efficiency in this area is generally enormous.

In general, specialized AI agents will penetrate literally all spheres of the economy, and just people's lives. Of course, this will inevitably entail some negative consequences, one of them is obvious - the loss of people's jobs, possibly the disappearance of some professions.

[Synchronice]

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.

Have you ever used content aware in photoshop? Today, such a function (or similar function) is called AI because of marketing, not in photoshop but in other apps. I just want to tell everyone that AI is not intelligence, it can't think, it doesn't have emotions, it doesn't get anger issues, it doesn't get lust and so on. I call it a software with very good algorithm, which is very good and I'm understanding the importance of it. When I want to search something, AI gives me better information than Google because AI has good algorithms that can take information from different sources and wrap in one section but the problem is that AI isn't trained well, it doesn't give you very accurate information, you still need to dig things yourself but it really saves you lots of time and I see its' potential in many jobs.
At the moment, I'm learning web development and try to not use AI, learn JS well and solve problems myself but once I become confident in my knowledge and will have a small experience, I really plan to use AI tools because like you said, if you don't use AI, basically you don't use internet and mobile phone, which is definitely a terrible idea in 21st century.

This AI agent thing has been discussed a lot, and often people exaggerate it like a device with full consciousness that can replace human tasks in making decisions and doing analysis. but I'm not so sure that it can be like that, because the difference between machines and humans lies in many aspects, and I don't think this AI agent can reach the point of being like a human. maybe it can do analysis and provide a summary of something, but when deciding a decision, it might be a little difficult for the AI ​​agent, because sometimes a decision does not come from mathematical calculations, but also a feeling and intuition that the AI ​​agent does not have.

And I think that's where the evolution of AI trends will commence in the next AI revolution trends.They'll definitely want to perfect this works In that aspects of predicting feelings and emotions since that's their major technological focusThis time around,AI will transition bigger in emotional intelligence and I'm already placing my curiosity in advance.😁
The AI trends is accelerating vastly and gaining and bringing significant benefits to businesses and individuals.

The next step could be to develop a method that predicts emotions and feelings, but I am not sure that this will always be true. It could also be the case that AI can only be developed to a certain point, because when emotions and intuition come into play, it may not be possible to reach a real conclusion.

If the level of AI really does rise to this level, we cannot know whether it will be good or bad. Much can be said about the emotional development of AI, but until that happens, it is difficult to say for sure where things will go or whether it will not happen.

It's possible to develop an AI which identifies emotions through micro facial expressions. It's not 100% accurate, but it can work with a decent error margin. There are emotions considered primary ones which are easily spotted, such as: anger, joy, sadness, happiness, fear and disgust.

Of course the market will take advantage of this possibility to identify emotions on people, and then offer them products and services accordingly to what they seem to need in the present moment.

On the other hand, I don't think an AI can replace a therapist, for an example. It must feel really strange to talk to a soulless being and the effects of the treatment must be incomplete in the end, as it's mainly the connection between two human beings which result in progress along the sessions.

AI improves with every passing second, non-stop. It’s not like a human who needs to eat, rest, and sleep for what they study to sink in.

I think that the most useful functions of AI agents are coding and working with videos, which allows, for example, creating videos, including commercials.

I've tried both Sora and Video.ai, and what they do is amazing. It's true that they make some huge mistakes, I asked it to create a video of a city in 1900, and it mixed in modern images but I see this as a baby still in diapers. It has a whole world to learn.

Well, that's why it's called "artificial".

I'm even sure they'll eventually replicate them but the big question is whether they'll ever reach something similar to "feeling." As of today, I'd say no, but the world never stops surprising me.

On the other hand, I don't think an AI can replace a therapist, for an example.

If by therapist you mean a psychologist, that's not necessary.

If you need to talk to someone, reach out to a friend or a family member. And if, for example, you have severe depression that prevents you from carrying out your daily routine, go to a psychiatrist, if necessary he’ll refer you to a psychologist.

OK, AI will dominate the IT world. We just have to adapt. We can't fight the new high tech revolution. Most IT jobs will be at risk, but the "brick and mortar" businesses won't be affected by this revolution. Jobs like copyrighters, sales agents, customer support and data entry workers would probably disappear after a while. Maybe things will become easier for the "average Joe", because you won't have to learn to write code. AI will do programming tasks for you.

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.

It is undeniable that the role of AI Agents has had a positive impact on better and more efficient performance, but in the midst of all that with the help of AI Agents many companies are laying off their employees en masse. From an economic perspective it will clearly cause instability in human resource management. Therefore as you have said whether you like it or not, in the end we will be required to be able to become a control center for the existence of AI Agents, in this case the level of competition in the field of AI technology development is also quite tight and the more sophisticated the intelligence offered by AI, the more parties are required to be involved in its development.

No, that's not why it's called artificial. There is a very wrong marketing of AI. Yes, it's artificial but it's not an intelligence. An intelligence can invent something, can think about something but the thinking of real intelligence is very complex and current AI is far from intelligence, even from Artificial one. We, humans, are the true definition of intelligence (not everyone). We process thoughts, make decisions but at the same time they are affected by so many things, including your level of testosterone, dopamine, serotonin. An imbalance in these chemicals can cause depression or enhance your mood. When you are depressed, you make different decisions and your creative and other abilities are completely different. To say it shortly, an intelligence, even artificial, should share the same level of complexity and at the moment none of them share it. As for now, AIs simply take information and give different answers like:
If question is B and condition C is met, then return answer Y. If not, then X.

Humans aren't like that, humans don't follow that structure. We can cheat, we can invent, we can manipulate everything the way we wish while AI follows basic rules. A true artificial intelligence will be the one that will share our structure like hormones, which will affect its answers and give it a creativity.

The concept of IT agents is both mesmerizing and frightening
On the one hand, it is another round of progress. Once part of manual labor was also replaced by mechanized means, and notably by automated ones. Horses - automobiles, and burlaks - tugboats ... Now part of intellectual work is being done by AI agents. There are several critical questions:
- how many specialties can such AI agents replace?
- How much can we trust the algorithms embedded in AI agents?
- how much of the critical processes we are willing to hand over to AI agents.

The last question is the most critical one, as it creates prerequisites for the scenario of “taking over the world” by AGI, which is very likely to appear.

My bigger concern is if governments get AI like this and start to read facial expressions/ emotions of people in certain contexts. With such data they could know every emotional response.

Think what would be if autocrat comes in power and punishes everyone who have wrong facial expression when talking about him.

AI combined with non stop surveillance is very dangerous thing, and we as ordinary people should be very cautious if measures like this start to get implemented. There is very big potential of putting our freedoms in danger, specially if machine will get to decide about things that can impact our lives.

I'm afraid AI have gotten more advanced than you think. I had similar opinion as yours but AI doesn't follow simple algorithm.

Just check this article.

When outplayed, researchers noted that the AI models resorted to cheating, using a number of devious strategies from running a separate copy of Stockfish so they could study how it played, to replacing its engine and overwriting the chess board, effectively moving the pieces to positions that suited it better.

It seems that the next step was closer than I thought.

Manus is a general AI agent that bridges minds and actions: it doesn't just think, it delivers results. Manus excels at various tasks in work and life, getting everything done while you rest.

AI has already dominated the IT space. Most companies will rather pay for AI services for tasks they know can be gotten more efficiently through this AI agents. Every single IT job is at risk, including that of the AI engineers, because most of this Ai agents can train a model themselves and test run them.


Most Al prompts can be so easy to navigate, most of them after generating their output will provide an editable interface for easy tweaking and adjustments to suit the exact needs. IT roles will only be at risk if the above IT professionals depend on this AI to execute their task, because they're might in so doing lose their relevance.

People still confuse the amount of money put into AI as earnings. AI has failed so far to convert.
Companies have invested over 25 Billion and so far little has come back.

[Porfirii]

People still confuse the amount of money put into AI as earnings. AI has failed so far to convert.
Companies have invested over 25 Billion and so far little has come back.

It doesn't mean that it has failed in general terms. It is being developed day by day and use cases are still limited, so now it's time to spend resources, not to take the profits.

Back on AI agents, at least for now it seems that it will be imperative to have humans supervising their activity, and time is still needed until they become popular enough, so luddites can be calm for now.

Some of us consider the existence of AI Agent as a competitor and instead make AI Agent as a means to make work easier. 2 perspectives that are still in the realm of uncertainty the more advanced the technology the more diverse the types and kinds of AI Agents by upgrading the most sought after smart response system. Most of the data presented is still not the latest for example only taking data from 2024, so far I have always tested several existing AI Agents to measure the data they provide.

[Tipstar]

AI agents are coming for crypto trading. We already have AI bots but these agents are too complex and would plan and execute strategies that would effect he overall market.
Not sure where it would lead us but now AI would be the next whales that make the market. We have been cursing people for pumping and dumping leaving behind the individual traders in loss. Now with AI in action and looking for the best way to make money, they'd surely initiate pump and dump just to snatch away money of small investors. It would be difficult to make money on trading unless you are into AI.
