AI Chatbots are now outdated.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

AI Chatbots have been incredible till now, impressing us with their conversational skills. However, AI Agents such as Devin AI and Google Deepmind's SIMA are set to revolutionize our understanding of AI and its potential.

The idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially as chatbots, has only begun to achieve broad acknowledgment in recent times, but its influence has been undoubtedly substantial for many. Still, we're currently observing a considerable development with the rise of AI agents – beings that display nearly conscious characteristics.

These agents have the ability to monitor their surroundings, independently perform tasks to achieve objectives, and even improve their understanding over time. This indicates a significant change in AI's abilities and prospects, as these agents start to resemble self-governing beings exploring and engaging with their environment.

Recently, a new business called Cognition AI has gained attention in the technology world with the introduction of its AI system, Devin. This program is designed to carry out the duties usually handled by experienced software developers. Unlike standard chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini, Devin offers more advanced features. It not only offers answers but also strategizes, writes codes, checks them, and puts them into action.

Conversely, Google's SIMA, an acronym for 'Scalable, Instructable, Multiworld Agent', epitomizes a revolutionary advancement in AI technology. By learning from a range of video games, SIMA has gained the capability to comprehend instructions in everyday language in the realm of the virtual gaming world and uses image recognition to carry out tasks efficiently.

Google has teamed up with various game developers to train SIMA on a wide range of video games. Some renowned games like No Man’s Sky from Hello Games, Teardown from Tuxedo Labs, Valheim, and Goat Simulator 2 are included in the list. This partnership has provided SIMA with a comprehensive knowledge of virtual worlds and gameplay strategies, allowing it to independently navigate and engage in these settings.

Moreover, Google has utilized sophisticated AI systems to convert their abilities into actionable, real-life tasks using a language interface. This incorporation of state-of-the-art AI technology in daily activities highlights the transformative power of AI agents such as SIMA, in connecting virtual simulations with practical uses in the real world.

The creators describe Devin as an "AI software developer". In a significant display of its abilities, Devin was assigned to evaluate Meta's open-source language model, Llama 2, on various hosting platforms. Remarkably, Devin formulated an intricate project plan, developed the required code to connect with APIs, conducted performance tests, and even built a website to exhibit the outcomes.

Although one should be wary of staged demonstrations, Cognition AI has managed to attract notice and approval, inciting debates and even internet jokes about the possibility of job losses in the technology sector.

Devin serves as a significant illustration of a wider pattern – the emergence of AI entities that can actively take measures to resolve issues, instead of just providing suggestions or solutions. This pattern has been witnessed in diverse fields, encompassing software development and video games.

Not only emerging companies like Cognition AI, but also industry leaders like Google DeepMind are diligently working on creating AI agents. For example, DeepMind's SIMA has shown capability in playing intricate video games and learning from human players to conduct a multitude of tasks. Even though they are currently being utilized in the gaming landscape, there are theories suggesting these agents could gradually expand their functionalities to areas beyond gaming, like internet surfing or managing software.

Even though AI agents hold a lot of potential, several hurdles persist, especially in relation to error percentages and the possible impacts of these errors. By limiting the range of tasks that AI agents execute, we might reduce risks, but we still have a significant journey ahead in guaranteeing their dependability and security.

Moving forward, the field of AI agents is set for substantial progress. Google DeepMind's CEO, Demis Hassabis, has shared intentions to merge extensive language models with AI programs trained through gaming, anticipating a surge in abilities as these systems progress towards more agent-like behaviors. As funding in this sector keeps increasing, we can expect more advancements and breakthroughs in AI agent technology soon.
