The Rise of AI Agents: Exploring Google's White Paper "Agents"


Listen Later

Introducing 'Research Preview,' our new series that begins by exploring how artificial intelligence is breaking free from its digital constraints. In our premiere episode, we dive deep into Google's research on AI agents – systems that don't just respond, but observe, reason, and act in the world around us. In this episode, discover how Google researchers are building AI that can think and operate beyond traditional boundaries, learn about the sophisticated cognitive frameworks powering these remarkable systems, and uncover the practical tools that allow artificial intelligence to finally bridge the gap between digital capabilities and real-world action.

About the paper:

Google's September 2024 white paper reveals how AI systems are evolving from conversation partners to active agents capable of accomplishing complex tasks. This research outlines the three-part anatomy of these systems: the model (brain), tools (interaction capabilities), and orchestration layer (decision-making process). Through innovative frameworks like REACT (Reason and Act), these agents can break down multi-step problems, leverage specialized tools to access real-time information, and deliver solutions grounded in current data.
