@ryen_white from microsoft research and @chirag_shah from university fo washington published a paper— AI Agents Are Not Enough ✨
here's a tl;dr 👀
ai agents struggled for decades due to limitations in adaptability, scalability, coordination, robustness, and trust. the solution? a new ecosystem with:
— agents: specialized for specific tasks.
— sims: digital user representations managing preferences and interactions.
— assistants: personalized managers coordinating agents and sims for seamless task execution.
this layered approach addresses trust, personalization, and usability, paving the way for a scalable and socially acceptable ai future.
agents alone aren’t enough, but together with sims and assistants, they just might be.
New book alert - targeted at researchers and graduate students in information retrieval or GenAI applications

I'm excited about a new paper that gives tractable generalizations of Aumann's Agreement Theorem, with an eye towards human/model collaboration in machine learning. We can implement algorithms that can "converse" with people and quickly come to agreement on downstream actions. 🧵
