Most often, it is used to describe an AI system that can act autonomously and work with outside applications to complete increasingly complicated tasks. The buzziest example from Asia has been Manus, which went mega-viral earlier this year.
But it has also morphed into a marketing buzzword, slapped onto everything from products that surf the Web on their own to bots that will eventually achieve human decision-making skills – and could be coming for your job.
