The proliferation of AI's "little workers"?! IBM announces a new form of AI agent management
Hello! Welcome to this blog, which explains AI technology in an easy-to-understand way even for beginners. I'm John, your guide.
Recently, the term "AI (Artificial Intelligence)" has become very common in the news and on the Internet. In fact, there is a type of AI called "AI Agents" There are little hardworking beings called "Digital Assistants." For example, they can answer questions like a chatbot, manage your schedule, and collect specific information. They're truly a reliable assistant in the digital world!
But what if there are too many of them? What is "Agent Sprawl"?
AI agents are very useful, but when companies create many AI agents, thinking, "This one looks useful," or "I want to automate this too," a little problem can occur.Agent SproulThis phenomenon is called "
"Sprawl" is a term that originally referred to the unplanned expansion of cities into the suburbs. The same is true for AI agents. When too many agents are created, it becomes very difficult to manage what each one is doing, whether they are working properly, whether security is okay, etc. It's like having too many toys in a room and not knowing where anything is.
If this "agent sprawl" continues, the following problems may arise:
- Security holesThere is a risk that this will occur.
- Each AI agent moves independently,Inconsistent resultsYou might end up letting it out.
- Adapting AI agents to new informationIt's hard to updatebecome.
- When something goes wrong,It becomes difficult to find the cause.
This means that the useful AI agent will be wasted.
That's where IBM comes in! Two powerful tools to help you manage your AI agents
To solve this problem of "agent sprawl," IT giantIBMIBM has announced a new solution that combines two powerful tools to manage and operate AI agents (the technical term for this is "AgentOpsThe idea is to make the process of connecting people (called "connections") to each other easier and safer.
The two tools are:
- watsonx.governance :
This is a tool to monitor and manage whether AI is being used properly in accordance with the rules, whether it is making strange decisions, and whether it is working fairly. It is a tool to prevent AI from going out of control or going in the wrong direction.AI Ethics Committee"Or"Watchdog"It's like that. - Guardium AI Security :
This is a specialized security tool that protects the AI model (the brain of the AI), the important data that the AI uses for learning and judgment, and how the AI is being used from malicious activities such as cyber attacks.AI's Strong Bodyguard" The image is something like that.
By linking this "AI watchdog" and "AI bodyguard," IBM hopes to enable companies to use large numbers of AI agents safely and efficiently.
By the way, what is "AgentOps"?
The term "AgentOps" was mentioned earlier. This is an abbreviation for "Agent Operations" and generally refers to the proper management and operation of the entire process (also known as the lifecycle) of developing an AI agent, putting it into operation, and making daily improvements to it.
This may sound a little difficult, but the point is,Systems and initiatives to properly train AI agents and ensure that they perform well" It's not enough to just buy a bicycle; you have to pump air into it and oil it regularly to make it comfortable to ride, right? AI agents are the same; you don't just create one and then it's over; you have to look after it properly.
What are the benefits of IBM's new initiative?
By combining "watsonx.governance" and "Guardium AI Security," IBM expects to deliver the following benefits to businesses:
- Simplified management: It may become possible to monitor and configure AI agents in one place, which was previously done separately.
- Improved security: By monitoring the behavior of AI agents and making them more resistant to external threats, you can use AI more safely.
- Increased reliability: It will also increase trust in AI as it will be easier to ensure that it is used fairly and correctly.
- Quick problem resolution: If an AI agent behaves in an unexpected way, it will be easier to determine the cause and respond accordingly.
This may enable companies to use AI agents more proactively and with more confidence, making our lives and work more convenient and enriching.
A word from John
AI agents are like the smart robots you see in futuristic movies, and just imagining them makes me excited. If we had lots of little assistants that could think for themselves and act on their own, it would probably make work and study more efficient! But no matter how convenient a tool is, how you use and manage it is still very important, which is what I felt after seeing this news about IBM. As AI continues to evolve, it is reassuring for us to know that we are also making progress in creating rules and mechanisms for using it safely.
