Agentic AI Extends Intelligence Beyond Disembodied LLMs
TL;DR. Intelligence is not solely brain-based, but embodied through tools and environment, a model now applied to agentic AI. - Embodied cognition suggests intelligence emerges from interactions with physical and digital environments. - ChatGPT's conversational interface was a key step in embodying AI, giving it a 'body' of sorts. - Agentic AI further extends this by enabling models to use tools and plan, akin to human interaction.
- Intelligence is conceptualized as embodied, not just brain-centric, extending to tools and environment.
- Applying embodied cognition to AI suggests that interfaces and tools enable greater AI intelligence and agency.
- ChatGPT's chat interface represented an early 'embodiment' for large language models.
- Agentic AI, with its tool-use and planning capabilities, provides a more advanced form of AI embodiment.
