WHAT IS IT?
Autonomous agents are programs designed to perform specific tasks without human intervention. They depend on algorithms and machine learning to make decisions and self-improve occasionally. Experiments are underway with various kinds of autonomous agents with a wide variety of use cases.
WHY IMPORTANT
Artificial intelligence is going berserk in terms of the things that it is capable of doing. The research and development of AI technologies is happening at a lightning-fast pace, something that has never been witnessed by the tech world before.
After ChatGPT showed the world what an intelligent chatbot could do with its impeccable comprehension abilities, the world moved on to AutoGPT and BabyAGI.
AutoGPT and BabyAGI are autonomous agents with AI powers. These programs create tasks for themselves, accomplish them, create new jobs, and even re-prioritize their list of tasks.
More and more experiments and research are being conducted on autonomous agents. This concept can have a far more significant impact across industries in the future.
