AI Agents

AI agents are autonomous software entities capable of perceiving environments, reasoning, and taking actions to achieve goals with minimal human oversight. They are defined by traits such as autonomy, adaptability, proactivity, and learning, and come in various architectures—from simple reactive agents to complex multi‑agent systems. By automating routine tasks, enhancing decision‑making, and personalizing experiences at scale, AI agents boost efficiency, scalability, and innovation across healthcare, education, business, environmental management, and personal productivity. However, challenges around reliability, ethics, and human‑agent collaboration remain critical. The future points to hybrid human‑AI workflows and specialized multi‑agent ecosystems that can further amplify impact.
