AI agents are set to transform workplaces by automating complex tasks and mundane activities. A report predicts that 40% of Global 2000 companies will adopt these technologies within three years, potentially doubling productivity where implemented effectively. New AI tools, including low-code and no-code platforms, are emerging rapidly. Companies like Microsoft and Salesforce are leading the way, offering tools that allow workers to create their own AI agents, which could change how tasks are performed across various industries. Despite the promise of AI agents, businesses face challenges such as skepticism about performance, privacy concerns, and the need for human oversight. Many organizations are still in the early stages of adopting generative AI, and the transition to AI-led workflows will require significant adjustments.
