Introducing LLM-based Generative Agents

The advances made by Large Language Models (LLMs) have led to the pursuit of Generative Agents. These are software systems that leverage foundation models like LLMs to perform complex tasks, take decisions, devise multi-steps plans and use tools (API calls, coding, etc.) to build solutions in heterogeneous contexts with a high degree of autonomy.
While initial works on LLM agents have shown promise, these emerging technologies are still unexplored. In this presentation, Luca Gioacchini will provide an overview of their design and functionality, discussing potential applications and associated challenges.
