Artificial intelligence systems known as “AI agents” are becoming increasingly capable of carrying out complex digital tasks with minimal human supervision, according to a new research project from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The 2025 AI Agent Index, compiled by MIT researchers, analyzes 30 prominent agentic AI systems and documents how they are built, deployed, and used across software ecosystems.
According to the project, “agentic AI systems are increasingly capable of performing complex tasks with limited human involvement,” reflecting a shift from simple chat-based assistants toward systems that can interact directly with software tools, websites, and enterprise platforms.
