Abstract : Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how businesses work. In the past, people used screens and buttons to interact with software. Now, AI-powered agents can do the same work without human involvement. This paper explains how Human Agents (HAs), Application Agents (AAs), Security Agents (SAs), and Accountability Tracker Agents (ATAs) will take over many business tasks. With these agents, companies will work faster, reduce costs, and change how managers and employees interact with technology. This paper also discusses whether AI will replace humans and concludes that, just like spreadsheets replaced many accountants, AI agents will replace many jobs while creating new opportunities.
Keywords : Artificial Intelligence (AI), Human Agent (HA), Application Agent (AA), Accountability Tracker Agent (ATA), User Interface (UI), Machine Learning (ML).
