Abstract:

>Recent advancements in large foundation models have remarkably enhanced our understanding of sensory information in open-world environments. In leveraging the power of foundation models, it is crucial for AI research to pivot away from excessive reductionism and toward an emphasis on systems that function as cohesive wholes. Specifically, we emphasize developing **Agent AI -- an embodied system that integrates large foundation models into agent actions**. The emerging field of **Agent AI spans a wide range of existing …
