The Rise of AI Agents: How Autonomous AI Will Change the Way We Work

During recent years, we experienced rapid development in artificial intelligence. From simple chatbots to advanced AI models capable of generating various texts, coding, analyzing data, and creating images, the future is already here. However, there is another step in the evolution of AI, and it is on its way – AI agents. AI agents are supposed to act, make decisions, use tools, and accomplish a task by using the least possible human assistance. What Are AI Agents? An AI agent is a software entity that is able to comprehend a goal, create a set of steps to perform the required operations, and then proceed with executing these actions. Unlike a traditional AI model which expects a user to issue an instruction (for instance, to ask a chatbot to summarize a document), an AI agent could receive an abstract objective like this one: "Analyze these documents and write a report of the main findings." Then, the agent could figure out what actions need to be taken, collect the needed i...

The Popularity of DSA-Based Interviews Technology companies have used DSA interviews for a long time to evaluate candidates' problem-solving capabilities. A DSA interview evaluates candidate...
