To begin at the end of Fan's presentation, the agentic era is where AI tech is headed, toward the development of software agents that orchestrate how foundational models interact with other models and systems.
"The 'agentic' era, Fan contends, is the next technological step after the 'generative,' 'neural,' and 'classical' eras of AI."
"A generalist agent needs to be able to survive, navigate, and explore an open-ended world. It needs to have vast knowledge of that world. And it should be able to do pretty much any task."
"First, the environment needs to be open-ended enough because the agent's capability will ultimately be upper-bounded by the environment complexity," said Fan.
