Abstract

AI Agents, as intelligent systems with autonomous perception, planning, memory, and decision-making capabilities, drive the transformation of artificial intelligence from passive response to autonomous intelligence. This paper systematically reviews the technological evolution and core competency framework of AI Agents and compares representative Large Language Model-based Agents (LLM-Agents) at different stages, analyzing their differences in strategic planning, execution logic, and result presentation. The study further explores emerging trends in multimodal perception, cross-modal cognitive fusion, and native agent models, highlights the challenges these Agents face in privacy, data security, and responsibility allocation, and proposes a collaborative hierarchical governance framework that integrates technology, systems, and institutional measures.
