There has been a lot of discussion about AI agents for the last few days. OpenAI has also launched an AI agent named Operator. Company CEO Sam Altman has said that the first AI agent can join the workforce this year and it will also affect the output of companies. Amidst all this, Yoshua Bengio, considered the father of Artificial Intelligence, has warned. He has described this path as destructive.
What are AI agents?
AI agents are a kind of tool. They can do many things like writing code, research and booking. Once the operator receives the command, he can automatically order online, book services and fill forms etc. These days many companies are working on creating AI agents.
Bengio warned
Bengio warned about AI agents and said that if these agents exist then destructive things can happen with superintelligence. He said that he wants to warn about AI agents. This is the most dangerous path. Bengio further said that scientific discoveries can be made through AI and this can be done without creating an agent. The AI that has come into science and medicine is not agentic and we should create more powerful systems that are non-agentic.
Bengio is considered the father of AI
The foundation of the modern AI boom has been laid due to the research done by Canadian resident Bengio on deep learning and neural networks. He has been given the status of Godfather of AI along with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun. Like Bengio, Hinton has also warned about the potential dangers of AI. He has talked about collective action to avert these dangers.
