“We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it,” said OpenAI boss Sam Altman.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the first artificial intelligence agents could enter the workforce this year as his company inches closer to developing humanlike artificial general intelligence (AGI).
“We believe that, in 2025, we may see the first AI agents ‘join the workforce’ and materially change the output of companies,” said Altman in a blog post titled “Reflections” on Jan. 6.
AI agents or agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that exhibit autonomous decision-making and goal-directed behavior. They can autonomously understand complex goals, make decisions, take actions with minimal human intervention, and execute multi-step reasoning processes.
