Are we entering into the new era of #AgenticAI ? Salim Sebkhi ,our Chief Revenue Officer at Aona AI shared his view on the latest release of new AI agents from OpenAI Microsoft Copilot & Anthropic But first, what is Agentic AI ? Agentic AI refers to a class of artificial intelligence systems designed to act as autonomous agents, capable of performing tasks, making decisions, and interacting with their environments without requiring direct human intervention How would businesses be managing #privacy #trust & #security ? We’d love to hear your thoughts . #AI #AgenticAI #privacy #security #trust Bastien Cabirou Salim Sebkhi RedBelts
Sharing some thoughts here and I would love to hear your view on the new upcoming era of #AI agents. As we see it now, the rise of #AI agents is gaining momentum, with recent advancements highlighting their transformative potential across various industries. Three major releases—Microsoft Copilot's Agents, OpenAI's Swarm framework, and Anthropic’s AI agents—demonstrate the growing role of #agentic #AI in tackling complex tasks autonomously. - Microsoft Copilot's Studio now offers #Copilot Agents, which are designed to streamline business processes by integrating multiple systems into seamless workflows. These agents, powered by generative AI, can automate various business functions such as customer support, project management, and data analysis. This shift promises to "supercharge" businesses by offloading repetitive tasks, enabling employees to focus on higher-value activities. https://lnkd.in/eQcjVTSH Meanwhile, #OpenAI has introduced #Swarm, a framework designed to enable the creation of multi-agent systems. These systems allow agents to collaborate and hand off tasks dynamically. While #Swarm is still in its experimental phase, it provides a glimpse into the future of enterprise #AI, where agents can work together across departments, from sales to data analytics. Developers are already experimenting with Swarm, which could ultimately revolutionise enterprise automation https://lnkd.in/eNirHHdm Anthropic’s new AI agents aim to compete directly with OpenAI by providing AI systems that can handle more complex tasks across industries. This positions Anthropic as a major player in the "AI agent race," especially as these agents are expected to tackle tasks that are too nuanced for current AI models. With a focus on safety and interpretability, Anthropic aims to ensure that these agents perform reliably in high-stakes environments.https://lnkd.in/eA85-8Zq This evolving landscape brings the question: How will businesses prioritize the integration of autonomous agents in their workflows, and what challenges will arise in terms of #trust, #security, and #governance as these tools become more autonomous?
