AI agents will fundamentally change the future of work. This is the prediction made by Nvidia founder Jensen Huang and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff at the Dreamforce conference, as reported by VentureBeat. According to Huang, the capabilities of AI agents are developing rapidly and offer “gigantic” opportunities. They will soon be able to solve complex tasks and collaborate with humans.
In the future, tech leaders expect AI agents to be able to understand nuances, think logically, and collaborate effectively. They will interact with each other and with humans, constantly improving through feedback. Some agents will specialize in certain skills, while others will be more versatile. Huang emphasizes that this will be a huge productivity driver for companies.
Salesforce has just completed a pivot to AI agents with its new Agentforce offering. Whether the capabilities of these helpers will actually change as quickly and clearly as outlined here is far from certain.
