A Coding Implementation to Build Multi-Agent AI Systems with SmolAgents Using Code Execution, Tool Calling, and Dynamic Orchestration

Memory shapes how humans think and how AI agents act. Without it, an agent only responds to the current input; with it, it can keep context, recall past actions, and reuse useful knowledge. AI memory spans short-term, episodic, semantic, and long-term memory, each with different design trade-offs around storage, retention, retrieval, and control. In this […] The post Agent Memory Patterns in Cognitive Science and AI Systems appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

European Union member states and the European Parliament agreed early Thursday to push back the toughest deadlines under the bloc’s AI Act, giving enterprises more time to prepare for high-risk compliance. Under the provisional deal between negotiators for the European Parliament and European Council, high-risk AI systems will face new deadlines of Dec. 2, 2027 for stand-alone systems and Aug. 2, 2028 for AI used in products covered by EU sectoral safety rules, a European Parliament statement said. The original deadline was Aug. 2, 2026. The deal still needs formal adoption by both Parliament and Council before it can enter into law. The co-legislators intend to complete that step before Aug. 2. Until they do, the original deadline applies as drafted. “Today’s agreement on the AI Act significantly supports our companies by reducing recurring administrative costs,” Marilena Raouna, Cyprus’s deputy minister for European affairs, said in a statement from the Council, which is composed of

The latest interview in our series with the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants features Ximing Wen who is researching transparent and trustworthy AI systems. We found out more about her work, her experience as a research intern, and what inspired her to study AI. Tell us a bit about your PhD – where are you studying, […]

Insider Brief Meta announced it is expanding the use of AI systems designed to identify underage users and automatically place suspected teens into stricter safety settings across Instagram and Facebook. The company said it is strengthening enforcement against users under 13 by using AI tools that analyze profiles, posts, captions and other account activity for […]

We tend to think of intelligence like height – and imagine ourselves being overtaken. That misses the point Until recently, we humans have been able to be smug about our abilities. No other animals play boardgames, write essays or prove mathematical theorems. But lately, progress in AI seems as though it might challenge our self-image as the smartest entities around. AI systems not only beat us at the most complicated games, but can also write polished prose and win medals in maths. Tech CEOs promise us that superhuman AI is just round the corner. So, in an age of AI, are human minds still special, or merely also-rans? Talking about superhuman AI assumes that intelligence is a single scale. My parents used to mark the heights of my younger brother and me on the doorframe of our laundry. Each year he would get a little closer to me, until one year the unthinkable happened and he outgrew me (he’s now 6ft 3in). The current moment feels a bit like that, as we look at these new younger sibl

Insider Brief UK construction robotics startup All3 has raised $25 in seed funding led by RTP Global. All3 is developing an integrated construction platform built around autonomous robots that assemble buildings on-site, AI systems that design building components and robotic factories that manufacture those parts before they reach the job site. According to All3, its […]

Agentic AI refers to autonomous AI systems that can accomplish complex tasks with minimal human supervision. Unlike traditional AI, which reacts to prompts, agentic AI can plan, adapt, and execute actions toward a goal, making decisions throughout the process. These systems are made up of AI agents, each handling a specific part of the task, […] The post What is Agentic AI? appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.
