Greetings from New York. I'm back home doing a bunch of online AI seminars until I leave for Austin to keynote at the .

In the news: OpenAI has introduced "Swarm," an experimental framework designed to coordinate networks of AI agents. Though not an official product, Swarm provides developers with a blueprint for creating AI systems capable of autonomous collaboration on complex tasks. This development has ignited debates on how AI-driven automation could transform enterprise operations. Companies could soon deploy specialized AI agents across departments to handle tasks like market analysis, sales, and customer support, minimizing human oversight and potentially reshaping workflows.

When you think about it this way, it's simply "super automation" and not scary at all. However… the ethical implications are significant. Concerns around security, bias, and job displacement are at the forefront, as autonomous systems will amplify existing risks. While Swarm offers a vision of AI's potential to both disrupt and enhance business processes, it represents an opportunity for enterprise leaders to explore these concepts before technology goes mainstream.

For developers interested in experimenting with Swarm, OpenAI has released the framework on . As emphasized by OpenAI researcher Shyamal Anadkat, Swarm is an educational tool ("more like a cookbook") for building simple agents and not intended for production use, though this admonition will stop absolutely no one.
