Below is an abstract of the talk:

With the recent remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, many tasks once considered exclusively within the human domain are now being performed by AI. These technological developments are progressing to the point where AI can either replace humans or collaborate with them autonomously to achieve specific goals. As a result, research on autonomous AI entities—intelligent agents that can communicate with humans, perceive dynamic environments, and make decisions autonomously to achieve given objectives—is gaining significant attention.

This lecture focuses on intelligent agents' collaborative capabilities, including machine-to-machine and human-machine collaboration. It explores the historical evolution of these technologies, the current state of the art, and the challenges in the future. The lecture covers the shift from earlier technologies that emphasized emulating human intelligence and interoperability to recent advancements, where deep learning, reinforcement learning, and large language models enable agents to learn and share intelligence autonomously. Additionally, real-world applications of intelligent agent collaboration in robotics, smart homes, and manufacturing are introduced.
