In January, Openai nominated its first AI agent as operator. It can work freely by using its own browser, looking at a webpage and typing, clicking and scrolling with it. Openai operator is currently limited to Chatgpt Pro users in the US. However, the company is having a conversation about AI agents with PhD-level intelligence, and according to reports, the operator is not this. A recent report by Information It is suggested that Openai is still working on its AI agents that provide PHD-level intelligence information.

These are reportedly special AI agents that can be used for different but specific tasks such as sales lead and coding, or an agent for high-income professionals, another which can be used as coding assistants. And according to reports, depending on the functions of these AI agents, they can cost up to $ 20,000.

Information suggests that an AI agent can cost $ 2,000 per month for “high-income knowledge workers”, the cost of a software developer AI agent can be $ 10,000 per month, while, $ 20,000 per month will cost a month to assist “PhD-level research”.

The report does not clarify when these special AI agents will be launched, or for which levels of users it will be available. Or will it be independent of chat membership and will act like add-on? All this is still not clear. However, the report highlights that the Softbank, who is an OpenIAI investor, has alone committed to investing $ 3 billion in the company’s AI agents in 2025.

But what does it mean for PhD-level intelligence information for AI agent? Let’s see the basics first. What is AI agent? An AI agent is essentially a sophisticated software system that can demonstrate independently complex functions with minimal human supervision (and sometimes). AI agents can decide on their own, they can adapt and react to various situations, as well as analyze large amounts of data and many options simultaneously.

An AI agent with a PhD-tier intelligence, however, when you give it a target-oriented task, is understood to be able to mimic human intelligence. And from the report that tells such AI agents will be able to address complex problems with the proficiency of doctoral graduation.

The time of special AI agents is interesting as it falls on the heels of a blog post shared by OpenAII CEO Sam Altman, where he predicted that AI agents would become part of the workforce in 2025. While some believe that the lower-level employees can cause job loss, some believe that AI agents will only combine the efficiency of existing users.
