Market Definition
Autonomous AI and autonomous agents are related concepts in the field of AI that involve the ability of systems or entities to act independently, make decisions, and perform tasks without continuous human intervention.
Autonomous AI refers to the development and deployment of AI systems that can operate and make decisions on their own without requiring explicit instructions or constant supervision from humans. These AI systems are designed to analyze data, learn from their environment, and adapt their behavior to achieve specific goals or objectives. They possess the capability to perceive their surroundings, reason about the information they gather, and take action accordingly. Autonomous AI is often employed in various applications, including autonomous vehicles, robotics, and smart home devices.
On the other hand, autonomous agents are software entities or computer programs that can act autonomously within their environment to accomplish tasks or goals. These agents have their own set of capabilities, such as perception, reasoning, decision-making, and actuation, enabling them to interact with their surroundings and make independent choices. Autonomous agents can be designed to operate in diverse contexts, ranging from virtual environments like video games to real-world scenarios such as intelligent personal assistants or trading bots.
