AI Agents for Business Are Already a Reality
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, had anticipated it: “2025 will be the year of AI Agents.”
What are the real implications for companies looking to leverage AI agents for business?
AI Agents for Business vs. Chatbots
AI agents for business represent a major shift compared to traditional chatbots. In the past, artificial intelligence interactions were limited to answering questions or executing simple commands. Today, thanks to advancements in generative AI, AI Agents can interpret context, orchestrate multiple systems, collaborate with each other, and make autonomous decisions to achieve a goal—without requiring direct user commands.
How Are Companies Responding to This Change?
Large enterprises know what to do and have the budget to act. However, in the world of SMEs, many are still coming to terms with the word LLM (Large Language Models) and now face yet another buzzword and a new technology to integrate.
To bring clarity to this topic, Athics is organizing a new webinar: “The AI Agents Revolution” scheduled on February 20th at 12 CET Time in Live streaming on Athics’ Linkedin Page.
