AI Chatbots are now considered old news. The future belongs to AI Agents that can accomplish a wide range of tasks.
AI Chatbots have been impressive up to this point, captivating us with their conversational abilities. But the advent of AI Agents, such as Devin AI and Google Deepminds' SIMA, are set to revolutionize our perceptions of AI and its potential capabilities.
The idea of AI, specifically through chatbots, has just recently started to become popular, but it has already made a remarkable impression on many. Now, we are seeing a substantial development with the appearance of AI agents—entities that display characteristics that are almost sentient.
These agents can perceive their surroundings, independently take steps to achieve objectives, and even improve their understanding over time. This represents a significant change in the abilities and possibilities of AI, as these agents increasingly resemble self-governing entities that explore and engage with their environment.
A new company called Cognition AI has been turning heads in the technological realm following the introduction of its AI system, Devin, which can execute functions usually performed by experienced software developers. Devin's abilities exceed that of conventional chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, because it not only delivers solutions, but also designs, writes, evaluates, and applies them.
Alternatively, Google's tool known as SIMA, an acronym for 'Scalable, Instructable, Multiworld Agent', signifies a revolutionary progress in the field of AI technology. It has been trained on a range of video games, allowing SIMA to comprehend instructions given in everyday language within the virtual gaming world. Additionally, it uses image recognition to perform tasks efficiently.
Google has partnered with various game developers to train SIMA across a wide range of video games. Some of the significant games include No Man's Sky from Hello Games, Teardown from Tuxedo Labs, Valheim, and Goat Simulator 2, among others. Thanks to this collaboration, SIMA has gained a deep knowledge of virtual worlds and gameplay systems, allowing it to independently move and engage within these settings.
Additionally, Google has utilized sophisticated AI models to convert their functionalities into useful, real-life activities via a language interface. This amalgamation of state-of-the-art AI technology into daily chores highlights the revolutionary potential of AI entities such as SIMA in narrowing the divide between virtual simulations and actual applications in the real world.
The creators of Devin proudly present it as an "AI software developer." During a significant demonstration, Devin was assigned to evaluate Meta's open-source language model, Llama 2, on various hosting platforms. Remarkably, Devin produced a comprehensive project plan, composed the required code to use APIs, carried out benchmarking tests, and even developed a website to display the results.
Although one should be wary of scripted demonstrations, Cognition AI has managed to attract attention and support, prompting talks and even internet jokes about the possibility of job losses in the technology sector.
Devin is a notable illustration of a larger movement – the emergence of AI entities that can actively take measures to fix issues, instead of just providing suggestions or solutions. This pattern has been witnessed in several fields, such as software development and video gaming.
Not only are emerging companies like Cognition AI stepping into the AI development arena, but big-name entities like Google DeepMind are also deeply invested in creating AI agents. For example, DeepMind's SIMA has shown expertise in playing intricate video games and acquiring skills from human players to accomplish a variety of tasks. Although these agents are currently being used in the gaming sector, there are theories suggesting they could potentially be adapted for non-gaming tasks, like navigating the web or managing software.
Even though AI agents hold a great deal of potential, there are still substantial obstacles to overcome, particularly regarding occurrence of errors and the possible impacts of these mistakes. By limiting the range of tasks that AI agents undertake, risks might be reduced, but there is still a considerable distance to cover in guaranteeing their dependability and security.
Moving forward, the field of AI agents is set to witness substantial progress. Demis Hassabis, the head of Google DeepMind, has expressed intentions to combine extensive language models with AI programs trained in gaming, foreseeing an improvement in skills as these systems transition to become more like agents. With ongoing investments in this domain, we can expect more advancements and breakthroughs in AI agent technology in the upcoming period.
