Nvidia’s CEO highlights the emergence of ‘agentic’ AI, a new wave of technology that could transform how we work and interact with machines.
At CES, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang declared that we’ve entered the age of agentic AI. OpenAI’s Sam Altman even predicts that by 2025, we might see AI agents in the workforce.
So, what’s agentic AI? It’s closely tied to generative AI. In simple terms, it’s AI that can act like an agent, handling complex tasks on its own.
Companies are aiming for these AI agents to become digital coworkers in various fields, from healthcare to customer service. Nvidia describes it as AI that can solve tough problems on its own, while IBM says it can make decisions and interact with the world beyond its training data.
Microsoft sees AI agents as everything from basic chatbots to advanced systems that can manage complex workflows. Some experts believe we’re on the brink of a new era in AI.
Salesforce’s CEO noted that we’ve seen three generations of AI in just a few years. The first was predictive models, then generative AI, and now we’re moving into intelligent agents that can tackle complex tasks.
Salesforce aims to have over a billion AI agents in use by 2025. Google’s CEO mentioned that they’ve been focusing on developing agentic models, which can understand their surroundings and act on your behalf.
OpenAI is also in the game, planning to launch an AI agent called “Operator” that can perform tasks like coding or booking flights for you. It’s an exciting time for AI, and we’re just getting started!
