Recently, there have been reports that OpenAI is preparing to launch an autonomous AI agent named 'Operator' that can control computers and independently perform various tasks. According to Bloomberg, this AI agent is expected to debut next January as a research preview and developer tool. This move will further intensify the competition among tech giants in the field of AI agents, as recently Anthropic also launched its 'computer usage' feature, while Google is reportedly preparing to do so in December.

Microsoft recently launched its latest product - an autonomous AI agent, also known as 'Virtual Employees', at an event in London. These AI workers can independently handle customer inquiries and identify sales leads, which means companies can operate more efficiently. Notably, Microsoft offers not only ten ready-made AI robots but also allows clients to customize AI agents based on their needs, bringing new opportunities to various industries.

Google DeepMind plans to research autonomous language agents to enhance the application of large language models. Through techniques such as instant engineering, self-prompting, and memory, it aims to autonomously achieve given goals. Concerns about alignment stress that more safety research is needed before developing autonomous AI agents. DeepMind is constructing Google's next generation of multimodal model series, Gemini. Google will more independently integrate artificial intelligence technology into its suite of applications.
