Context: GPT-4o by OpenAI and Project Astra by Google represent a new breed of AI known as AI agents.
Unlike conventional voice assistants like Alexa and Siri, AI agents can engage in real-time, multi-modal interactions with humans, processing various inputs including text, images, and voice. They perceive their environment through sensors, process information using algorithms, and take action. Unlike large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3 and GPT-4, AI agents offer more natural and immersive interactions, understanding context and providing personalized responses. They have potential applications in customer service, education, healthcare, and more, but also raise concerns about privacy, security, and bias.
