It is an autonomous computer program that uses AI to complete a task with minimal human oversight.
That's unlike a standard chatbot that answers a question in a single step. Instead, an agent operates in a cycle by understanding the task and taking action, such as by running a code or working with an app to achieve a goal.
Companies like Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta have all released agentic models.
Developers have been programming agents to do all sorts of tasks, like to order items online or schedule appointments.
But in some cases, it is unclear how an agent might go about to achieve its goal, raising cyber security risks.
