- The next-generation AI assistants are called AI agents and are set to surpass their predecessors in ability as well as efficiency.
- These agents can perform multiple functions as users’ agents or autonomously, that is, without instructions or user intervention.
- AI assistants, such as Siri and Alexa, have evolved into more advanced AI Agents (AIAs).
- They are classified into three types:
- Reactive agents, which respond to specific inputs;
- Learning agents, which use machine learning to improve over time;
- Cognitive agents, which can reason, adapt, and make decisions autonomously.
- Cognitive AIAs integrate with the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling real-time data analysis, and can perform complex tasks, such as planning trips or managing warehouse items autonomously.
- While AIAs offer personalization and convenience, they also pose challenges, particularly concerning privacy, accountability, and liability.
