THE CRA PERSPECTIVE · TECHNOLOGY & TOMORROW AI Agents: The Next Evolution of Artificial Intelligence From answering questions to taking action—how intelligent digital assistants are changing the way we work and live. Imagine an assistant that does more than answer your questions. It researches information, organises documents, compares options, prepares reports and helps complete a task through a series of connected steps. This is the idea behind an AI agent —a software system designed to pursue a defined goal, make decisions within its instructions, use available tools and carry out actions with an appropriate level of independence. Artificial intelligence has already transformed the way people write, learn, search and create. AI agents take the idea further by connecting intelligence with action. Instead of helping only with an individual question, they can help manage a complete workflow. But what exactly is an AI agen...
It
doesn’t! The oxygen level of the planet has varied quite dramatically in the
last 500 million years. It was 35 per cent during the Carboniferous period, around
300 million years ago; as the climate, cooled and land plants died off, oxygen
fell to as low as 12 per cent by the beginning of the Triassic. Back then, the
air at sea level would have felt thinner than at the top of the Alps today.
Burning
fossil fuels has reduced oxygen levels very slightly – about 0.057 per cent
over the last 30 years. Deforestation only has a small effect because when
rainforest is cut down, other plants are usually grown in its place. But it’s
marine phytoplankton (plant plankton), rather than trees, that produces about
75 per cent of atmospheric oxygen. Global warming will have a significant
impact on phytoplankton, which is a much more serious threat to oxygen levels.
