Part 6/10:
A game-changing element of AI that Altman introduces is the concept of agents—tools that can operate relatively autonomously within business processes. The emergence of coding agents, exemplified by OpenAI's Codex, represents a transformative leap in AI utility. These agents can tackle tasks requiring significant effort, ultimately functioning similarly to a human team member.
Altman foresees that in the coming year, organizations will leverage these agents to explore new knowledge domains and solve intricate business problems. The prospect of AI agents autonomously driving new scientific discoveries could fundamentally alter the landscape of innovation.
