We
are building machines that act on their own. The path is easy to trace: from
tools that answer when asked, to systems that carry out tasks, to autonomous
agents that pursue goals across long stretches of work with no human in the
loop. Each step hands more of the doing, and more of the deciding, to the
machine. Argue about the timeline all you like; the direction is not in
dispute.
