"Over the past two years, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has
captivated public attention. This year signals the beginning of a new phase:
the rise of AI agents.
AI agents are autonomous systems that can make decisions and take actions on
our behalf without direct human input. The vision is that these agents will
redefine work and daily life by handling complex tasks for us. They could
negotiate contracts, manage our finances, or book our travel.
Salesforce chief executive Marc Benioff has said he aims to deploy a billion AI
agents within a year. Meanwhile Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg predicts AI agents
will soon outnumber the global human population.
As companies race to deploy AI agents, questions about their societal impact,
ethical boundaries and long-term consequences grow more urgent. We stand on the
edge of a technological frontier with the power to redefine the fabric of our
lives.
How will these systems transform our work and our decision-making? And what
safeguards do we need to ensure they serve humanity’s best interests?"
