It’s predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) agents that may handle complex tasks on their very own without human intervention will evolve right into a ‘collaborative AI agent group’ that communicates with one another and shares tasks next yr.
On the twenty second (local time), CNBC cited a report by French consulting firm Capgemini titled ‘Harnessing the Value of Generative AI’ and predicted that ‘multi-agent AI’ will emerge in 2025.
In line with this, Capgemini defines AI agents as “technology designed to operate independently, plan, reflect, pursue higher-level goals, and execute complex workflows with minimal or limited direct human supervision.” In other words, they work within the background to finish tasks on behalf of the user.
We also divided AI agents into two types: ‘individual agents’ that perform tasks on behalf of users and ‘multiple agents or agents that converse with agents.’
A multi-agent system consists of a group of AI agents that cooperate with one another to unravel tasks.
For instance, a marketing-focused AI agent creating an organization’s promoting campaign could autonomously collaborate with one other agent in the identical company’s legal department to confirm that the campaign is legal.
Unlike existing AI systems that simply follow instructions, such agents are described as “able to understanding, interpreting, adapting, and acting independently, and may even replace human employees in certain tasks.”
“There are already firms developing these multi-agent technologies,” said Pascal Breyer, Capgemini’s chief innovation officer. “You’ll be able to expect to see applications using multi-agents in the approaching yr.”
Meanwhile, this report was conducted based on a survey of greater than 1,100 firms with sales of greater than 1 billion dollars (roughly 1.386 trillion won).
Nearly all of firms surveyed (82%) plan to integrate AI agents inside one to 3 years, while only 7% said they haven’t any plans.
Moreover, 71% of companies expect AI agents to drive automation, and 64% expect AI agents to free human employees from repetitive tasks, allowing them to give attention to value-added functions akin to customer experience.
The adoption of generative AI appears to still be the preserve of enormous enterprises. The variety of organizations which might be currently integrating generative AI into some or most of their positions or functions has quadrupled from 6% last yr to 24% this yr.
Nevertheless, while 49% of firms with annual revenues of $20 billion or more have adopted generative AI, that number plummets to 10% for firms with revenues of $1 billion to $5 billion.
