Outlook on AI Agent Development: The Evolution from Concept to Application

As 2025 approaches, artificial intelligence has become an indispensable part of our lives. However, there are still many misconceptions about the concept of AI Agent. In fact, to be considered an AI Agent, a system must possess the working logic of the following three steps: perception, thinking, and action.

Taking a common AI Agent project as an example, such as automated cryptocurrency investment. Its operation process is as follows:

1. Perception: Get the latest cryptocurrency news.
2. Reflection: Analyze the impact of news on specific cryptocurrencies
3. Action: Decide to buy or sell based on the analysis results.

So, does the ChatGPT we are familiar with count as an AI Agent? Broadly speaking, ChatGPT does possess certain characteristics of an AI Agent. However, if there are higher requirements for an AI Agent, such as needing richer perceptual abilities and physical execution capabilities, ChatGPT is more like an intelligent dialogue component rather than a complete AI Agent.

AI agents typically have the following characteristics compared to traditional AI systems:

1. Focus more on solving problems in specific areas.
2. Able to acquire and process more data from the physical world.

At the current stage, AI Agents are more specialized than large language models like GPT. They need to actively acquire knowledge from the real world, such as certain AI Agents being able to analyze cryptocurrency market dynamics in real-time and make predictions.

Based on the above analysis, we can summarize the three core characteristics of AI Agent:

1. Adopt the "Perception-Analysis-Action" processing flow.
2. Focus on solving problems in specific areas
3. Widely use real-world data

Currently, the application of AI Agents has covered multiple fields:

1. AI Investment: Automated Cryptocurrency Trading Decisions
2. AI Companion: A virtual partner with specific personality settings
3. Opinion Output: Providing professional analysis and commentary for specific areas.
4. Virtual Idol: AI Technology-Based Digital Artist
5. Predictive Analysis: Forecasting specific events or market trends.
6. AI Resource Integration: A one-stop platform providing various AI services
7. Creative Generation: Including multimedia content creation such as painting, animation, and music production.

With the rapid development of AI Agents, various development frameworks have emerged. These frameworks not only provide technical support but also offer convenience for developers to issue tokens. However, this model has also sparked some controversy, with some questioning its excessive focus on token issuance at the expense of technological innovation.

Nevertheless, the combination of cryptocurrency and AI has indeed accelerated the process of market discovery. Excellent products and teams can quickly gain attention and support, while inferior projects will soon be rejected by the market. This fierce competitive environment may give rise to some unexpected innovative products.

Looking to the future, the development of AI Agent technology will continue to profoundly impact our lives and ways of working. We look forward to seeing more groundbreaking applications emerge, while also needing to be vigilant about the challenges and risks that may arise. As explored in "Blade Runner," with the advancement of AI technology, we may need to rethink the relationship between artificial intelligence and human society. The development of AI in the next 20 to 30 years may bring about changes that are currently beyond our imagination.
