The advent of AI agents and multi-agent systems marks a significant technological leap, originating recently with the unprecedented success of ChatGPT approximately 2 years before the writing of this article. This innovation spread faster than any other in human history, eliciting immense enthusiasm. While initially noted for some factual inaccuracies and a tendency to «dream like a human» rather than strictly adhere to truth, AI demonstrated remarkable capabilities. Notably, AI passed the Turing test in 2023, sooner than many anticipated. Despite the immense potential, the era of agents introduces significant ethical challenges and risks.
