Autonomous agents and profitability to dominate AI agenda in 2025, executives forecast!
NEW YORK, Dec 12 – Autonomous “agents” and profitability are likely to dominate the artificial intelligence agenda next year, business executives and researchers predicted this week in interviews at the Reuters NEXT conference in New York.
Agents, or systems that can perform actions like making purchases and scheduling meetings on people’s behalf without their direct involvement, have long been an elusive goal for AI researchers.
However, such capabilities were likely to be enabled by the emergence this year of step-by-step reasoning approaches like those used in OpenAI’s o1 model, the executives told Reuters.
“I think we are going to see a lot of motion next year around agents, and I think people are going to be surprised at how fast this technology comes at us,” said OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar.
“We think that’s just the beginning of what 2025 will be about: agents who are really there to help you with day to day tasks,” she said.
