AI Chatbots are no longer the latest technology. The future lies in AI Agents that can accomplish various tasks.

AI Chatbots have been impressive and intriguing in their conversational abilities so far. But, AI Agents such as Devin AI and Google Deepminds' SIMA will revolutionize our perception of AI and its potential.

The idea of AI, especially regarding chatbots, has only begun to gain broad acceptance recently, but its influence has been notably remarkable for many. Nonetheless, we are currently observing a considerable advancement with the rise of AI agents—entities that display nearly conscious attributes.

These agents have the ability to perceive their surroundings, independently execute tasks to achieve objectives, and incrementally expand their understanding. This signifies a significant transformation in AI's potential and abilities, as these agents increasingly resemble self-governing entities exploring and engaging with their environment.

A new company called Cognition AI has grabbed attention in the technology sphere with the launch of its artificial intelligence software, Devin. This program can execute roles usually carried out by proficient software developers. Devin's abilities surpass conventional chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini because it doesn't just offer solutions, it also outlines, writes, checks, and applies them.

Conversely, Google's SIMA, an acronym for 'Scalable, Instructable, Multiworld Agent', signifies a revolutionary advancement in the field of AI technology. This AI model, having been trained on multiple video games, has the capability to comprehend commands given in everyday language within the scope of the virtual gaming world. Moreover, it utilizes image recognition to carry out tasks efficiently.

Google has partnered with various game developers to train SIMA across a wide range of video games. Some of the prominent games include No Man's Sky by Hello Games, Teardown by Tuxedo Labs, Valheim, and Goat Simulator 2, to name a few. This collaboration has given SIMA a deep comprehension of virtual worlds and game mechanics, allowing it to independently navigate and engage within these settings.

Moreover, Google has utilized sophisticated AI systems to convert their prowess into feasible, tangible tasks via a language interface. This fusion of state-of-the-art AI technology into daily activities highlights the revolutionary capacity of AI entities such as SIMA to serve as a connection between virtual simulations and actual applications in the real world.

The creators of Devin describe it as an "AI software developer." In a significant display of its capabilities, Devin was assigned the job of testing Meta's open-source language model, Llama 2, on various hosting platforms. Remarkably, Devin produced a comprehensive project plan, wrote the required code to access APIs, conducted benchmarking tests, and even built a website to display the results.

Despite the skepticism often associated with pre-arranged demonstrations, Cognition AI has managed to draw interest and support, triggering conversations and even humorous internet content, guessing the possible job shifts within the technology sector.

Devin is a prime illustration of a wider pattern – the emergence of AI entities that are not just providing suggestions or solutions, but also actively participating in problem-solving. This pattern has been noticed in different fields, such as software development and video gaming.

Not only emerging companies like Cognition AI, but also big names like Google DeepMind are deeply engaged in creating AI entities. For example, DeepMind's SIMA has shown skill in mastering intricate video games and learning from human players to accomplish various tasks. Currently used in gaming contexts, there are theories suggesting these entities might in time expand their scope to non-gaming activities, including online surfing or managing software.

Even though AI agents hold a lot of promise, there are still significant hurdles to overcome, especially regarding the frequency of errors and the possible repercussions of these errors. Trying to limit the range of tasks assigned to AI agents could help reduce risks, but we still have a significant distance to cover in terms of guaranteeing their dependability and security.

In the future, we can expect substantial progress in the field of AI agents. Google DeepMind's CEO, Demis Hassabis, has hinted at intentions to merge extensive language models with AI programs trained in gaming, predicting a jump in proficiency as these systems mature into more agent-like entities. As financial support in this sector persists, we can look forward to more advancements and breakthroughs in AI agent technology soon.
