Auto-GPT and BabyAGI: How ‘autonomous agents’ are bringing generative
AI to the masses
Autonomous agents may mark an important step toward a world where
AI-driven systems are smart enough to work on their own, without need
of human involvement.

Quote:
Over the past week, developers around the world have begun building
“autonomous agents” that work with large language models (LLMs) such
as OpenAI’s GPT-4 to solve complex problems. While still very new,
such agents could represent a major milestone in the productive
application of LLMs.

In general terms, autonomous agents can generate a systematic sequence
of tasks that the LLM works on until it’s satisfied a preordained
“goal.” Autonomous agents can already perform tasks as varied as
conducting web research, writing code, and creating to-do lists.

And that’s a big part of the reason for all the current interest in
(and hype around) autonomous agents. They suggest an important step
toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), where AI-driven systems
are smart enough to work on their own, without need of human
involvement.
