AI Chatbots are now outdated. The future belongs to AI Agents capable of accomplishing a variety of tasks.

AI Chatbots have impressed us so far, captivating us with their communication skills. However, AI Agents such as Devin AI and Google Deepminds' SIMA are set to redefine our understanding and expectations of AI capabilities.

The idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically chatbots, has only started to get broad acknowledgment recently, but its influence has been remarkably striking for numerous individuals. Nonetheless, we are currently observing a substantial advancement with the rise of AI agents – beings that portray qualities nearly akin to consciousness.

These agents possess the ability to monitor their surroundings, independently take actions to achieve objectives, and even improve their understanding as time goes on. This signifies a significant change in the potential and abilities of AI, as these agents start to resemble autonomous beings exploring and engaging with their environment.

A new company called Cognition AI has recently garnered attention in the tech world with the introduction of its AI software, Devin, which can carry out duties usually performed by proficient software developers. Unlike conventional chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, Devin's skills are more advanced, as it not only generates solutions but also designs, writes, verifies, and puts them into action.

Alternatively, Google's SIMA, an acronym for 'Scalable, Instructable, Multiworld Agent', signifies a revolutionary advancement in AI technology. Having been taught with a range of video games, SIMA can comprehend commands in natural language within the virtual gaming surroundings and uses image recognition to carry out tasks efficiently.

Google has partnered with various game developers to help train SIMA across a wide range of video games. Some standout games include No Man's Sky by Hello Games, Teardown by Tuxedo Labs, Valheim, and Goat Simulator 2, among others. This partnership has provided SIMA with a deep knowledge of virtual worlds and game mechanics, allowing it to operate and engage independently within these settings.

Moreover, Google has utilized sophisticated AI models to convert their abilities into actionable, real-world tasks via a language interface. This fusion of state-of-the-art AI technology in routine tasks underlines the transformative power of AI entities like SIMA in connecting virtual simulations with practical applications in the real world.

Devin is promoted by its developers as an "AI software developer." In a significant display, Devin was assigned to evaluate Meta's open-source language model, Llama 2, on various hosting platforms. Remarkably, Devin produced a comprehensive project scheme, authored the required code to utilize APIs, performed standard tests, and even made a summary website to display the outcomes.

Although one should be careful with pre-arranged demonstrations, Cognition AI has managed to draw interest and support, leading to conversations and even humorous internet content speculating about possible job losses in the tech sector.

Devin is a significant illustration of a wider pattern – the emergence of AI entities that can actively initiate solutions to issues, instead of just providing guidance or responses. This pattern has been noted in multiple areas, such as software development and video games.

Not only startups like Cognition AI, but also big companies like Google DeepMind are engaged in creating AI agents. For example, DeepMind's SIMA has shown skill in playing intricate video games and learning from human players to carry out a variety of tasks. Although they are currently being used in gaming scenarios, there are theories that these agents might possibly be used for activities outside of gaming, like web surfing or running software.

Nevertheless, there are still hurdles to overcome with AI agents, specifically regarding their accuracy and the possible repercussions of their errors. By limiting the range of tasks AI agents carry out, we might reduce the risks, but there's much work to be done in guaranteeing their dependability and security.

In the future, we can expect major progress in the field of AI agents. Google DeepMind's CEO, Demis Hassabis, has shared intentions to merge large language models with AI programs trained in gaming, predicting a substantial increase in their functionality as they gradually transform into more agent-like systems. With continuous funding in this sector, we can foresee additional advancements and breakthroughs in AI agent technology soon.
