In this episode of the Eye on AI podcast, we dive deep into the world of AI agents with Ece Kamar, VP of Research and Managing Director of AI Frontiers Lab at Microsoft.

Ece shares her unique insights on the future of AI, discussing how AI agents are reshaping the way we interact with technology and perform tasks.

Throughout the episode, Ece explains the groundbreaking potential of AI agents, describing how they act as autonomous entities that can perceive, learn, and carry out complex tasks in real time. She discusses the revolutionary shift from traditional AI models to agentic workflows, highlighting how multi-agent systems like Microsoft's AutoGen are creating scalable solutions for industries and everyday life. Ece also shares her thoughts on building responsible AI, touching on the ethical challenges and safety concerns that come with the rise of autonomous agents.

We explore how multi-agent systems can scale to millions of agents, and how they are transforming enterprises by automating complex workflows, personalizing customer experiences, and pushing the boundaries of AI development. Ece's perspective on the future of AI in scientific discovery, as well as her work in responsible AI, offers a thought-provoking glimpse into what lies ahead.
