The Beginning: AI Agents Take over Computer Tasks Done by Humans

OS World: Playground Where Autonomous Agents Accomplishes Complex Computer Tasks.

Full Article

  • How We Humans Work:

Human Work = Iteration of
( Learning Process +
Reasoning Ability + Visual Perception +
Actions in Environment + Feedback from Environment )

  • How AI Agents Could Potentially Perform the Same Work:

AI Agent Work = Continuous Iteration of
( Rapid Learning + Advanced Reasoning +
Enhanced Visual Processing + Tireless Actions +
Real-Time Environmental Feedback )

The Point of the Article:
Big changes are happening with smart computer programs called AI. These AI helpers are getting smarter and better at doing things that humans do. Soon, they will be all around us in the world.

After GPT-4, even smarter language AI like GPT-5 or others will arrive. These can reason and think almost like humans.
At the same time, vision AI that can see and understand pictures and videos is also getting better. AI that can take actions on computers and websites is making lots of progress too.

Humans use reasoning, vision and action abilities to do tasks. With AI getting so good at these, it means AI helpers will start doing many tasks for us that only humans could do before.

Just like we got used to having smartphones and apps assist us, we will soon have AI assistants that can understand us, see the world, and take useful actions to help in our daily lives. It will be a big change!
So point is, getting familiar with AI now Learn about it & get ready

What is OS World?

  • OS World is a special computer environment for testing smart AI helpers called multimodal agents.
  • These AI agents can see, understand, and perform tasks like humans using real computer programs.

Why is OS World Important?
OS World trains AI agents to learn skills like writing emails, making spreadsheets, designing websites, and searching for information – tasks that people do with computers every day.
While it doesn't mean people will lose their jobs, some tasks could change, with AI helpers assisting in drafting, finding information, or checking for errors.
