Research: When AI Becomes a Team At its core, an AI “agent” is not sentient. It’s a system capable of perceiving its environment, planning a sequence of actions, and executing those actions to reach a goal. In a multi-agent system, these behaviors are distributed across the team.

Research: When AI Becomes a Team

In short, multi-agent AI is a shift from isolated generative tools to collaborative creative systems.

AI and the Arts Practical workflows are also changing the conversation. Artists are increasingly using AI to handle repetitive or large-scale tasks, freeing humans to focus on storytelling and interpretation.

Beyond Text Generation In the early days of generative AI, models were asked to do one thing at a time: write text, generate an image, or produce a small piece of structured data. But real-world creative projects are complex: text, images, audio, and metadata must work together, often in sequence and sometimes in parallel.

Trust but Verify Imagine receiving a beautifully written chapter from a machine. It reads perfectly, flows naturally, and seems exactly what you asked for. But when you look closer, the word count is off, a key plot detail is inconsistent, or it accidentally repeats a name that should never appear. At this moment, you realize: just because the AI wrote it doesn’t mean it can be trusted blindly.
