OpenAI has announced that it is developing AI agents, which are independent artificial intelligence models capable of completing tasks without human input. These agents, expected to be available in ChatGPT next year, mark a significant step in the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). While OpenAI emphasizes the importance of aligning agents with human values to prevent potential harm, the article highlights the potential benefits of agents, such as automating tasks and increasing efficiency. Guardrails are in place to prevent misuse, but the article acknowledges that these safeguards can sometimes be bypassed. Despite the potential risks, the author expresses excitement about the arrival of agents and the opportunities they present.
