Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (Prentice Hall, 1995) is a modern classic that defines AI research as ‘_the study and design of rational agents.’
Agents are undoubtedly the most celebrated use case of Gen AI in 2024, with the emergence of a slew of frameworks and tools, such as Microsoft Magentic One, LangGraph, Vellum, Rivet, CrewAI, Amazon Bedrock Agents, OpenAI Swarm and OpenAI Agents Tools.
From Microsoft’s headline ‘The future is agentic’ with the announcement of The Magentic One to Google branding its flagship Gemini 2 as ‘Enabling the agentic era’, big techs are increasingly emphasising the creation of new agentic tools and equipping their frontier models with agent-friendly features.
