If you’ve heard of #AIAgents, you probably think of them as a sort of personalized robot assistant that can carry out tasks on your behalf. That would be wrong, says Kanjun Qiu (@kakjun), CEO of Imbue, an #AI research lab. Not only is such a story inaccurate, it’s disempowering and even potentially dangerous. She says that, correctly used, AI agents are an advanced software tool that empowers users to customize and interact with their digital space more fully, without requiring the advanced skills of coders. The World Economic Forum is working at the forefront of this new development in #artificialintelligence. Our paper, Navigating the AI Frontier: A Primer on the Evolution and Impact of AI Agents, demonstrates the huge impact AI agents can have across sectors such as healthcare, education and finance.
