AI Chatbots are now outdated. The up-and-coming trend is AI Agents capable of accomplishing various tasks.

AI Chatbots have indeed been impressive, especially their communication skills. However, AI Agents such as Devin AI and Google Deepminds' SIMA are set to revolutionize our perception of AI and its potential abilities.

The idea of AI, especially through chatbots, has just recently started gaining popularity, but its effect has been notably remarkable for many. Yet now, we're seeing a major progression with the rise of AI agents—beings that display almost conscious characteristics.

These agents can monitor their surroundings, independently act to achieve objectives, and even improve their understanding as time progresses. This represents a significant change in the abilities and possibilities of AI, as these agents increasingly resemble self-governing entities exploring and engaging with their environment.

A new company called Cognition AI has recently gained attention in the technology sector with the introduction of its AI software, Devin, which can conduct tasks usually carried out by experienced software engineers. Devin's abilities exceed those of regular chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, because it not only offers solutions but also strategizes, writes code, performs tests, and executes them.

Alternatively, Google's SIMA, an acronym for 'Scalable, Instructable, Multiworld Agent', signifies a revolutionary advancement in AI technology. By being trained on numerous video games, SIMA has the capacity to comprehend natural language instructions in relation to the virtual gaming landscape and uses image recognition to carry out tasks efficiently.

Working together with multiple game creators, Google has assisted in training SIMA across a wide variety of video games. Some of the famous games involved are No Man’s Sky developed by Hello Games, Teardown from Tuxedo Labs, Valheim, and Goat Simulator 2, among others. Through this association, SIMA has gained a complex comprehension of virtual realities and game operations which allows it to independently move around and engage within these settings.

Moreover, Google has utilized sophisticated AI systems to convert their abilities into actionable measures via a language interface. This incorporation of state-of-the-art AI technology into daily chores highlights the transformative power of AI entities such as SIMA in linking virtual simulations with real-world applications.

Devin, hailed by its developers as an "AI software developer," was notably used to test Meta's open-source language model, Llama 2, on various hosting platforms. Remarkably, Devin produced a comprehensive project plan, authored the vital code for API access, executed benchmarking tests, and even developed a summary website to display the results.

Though one should tread carefully with staged demonstrations, Cognition AI has managed to draw attention and support, igniting conversations and even creating memes about possible job shifts in the technology sector.

Devin is a notable instance of a wider tendency – the emergence of AI entities that can actively act to resolve issues, instead of just providing recommendations or solutions. This pattern has been noticed in multiple fields, such as software development and video gaming.

Not just emerging companies like Cognition AI, but even leading firms like Google DeepMind are engaged in creating AI entities. DeepMind's SIMA, for example, has shown skill in playing intricate video games and learning from human participants to carry out various tasks. Although currently used in gaming scenarios, it's theorized that these entities could eventually be applied to assignments beyond games, such as navigating the internet or managing software.

Even though AI agents hold great potential, there are still significant obstacles to overcome, such as high error rates and the possible repercussions of these errors. By limiting the range of tasks that AI agents can perform, we might reduce these risks, but there's still a considerable journey ahead in guaranteeing their dependability and security.

Going forward, the realm of AI agents is set to undergo notable progress. Demis Hassabis, the head of Google DeepMind, has hinted at merging extensive language models with AI programs trained in gaming, foreseeing a significant boost in their capabilities as they progress to be more like agents. As funding in this field keeps increasing, we can expect more breakthroughs and advancements in the technology of AI agents in the upcoming period.
