Artificial Intelligence and China’s Innovative Breakthroughs
After DeepSeek, a new Chinese autonomous AI agent was released and immediately got global attention, challenging OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Microsoft. It has sparked a lot of buzz online for its AI capabilities.
Labeled as another “DeepSeek moment” in China, the Manus AI agent is grabbing attention owing to its ability to handle complex real-world tasks. The Chinese startup Monica has released Manus, which went viral within 20 hours of its preview launch.
What is Manus?
An autonomous agent, Manus is reportedly the world’s first true general AI agent. It has demonstrated its capabilities by handling complicated tasks. Monica released a video showcasing the capabilities and shared it on social media.
Manus can complete tasks like planning a trip to Japan, conducting research on global warming, analyzing stocks and portfolios, and purchasing products online. It won’t simply generate text for your project but also do research papers, code charts, interactive elements, and everything else without needing extra user prompts.
The demo video shows the AI agent thinking, planning, and executing tasks independently and delivering complete results in real time. It can also browse websites, take screenshots, record online activity, and generate reports. It operates independently in the cloud and can work on the tasks even after getting disconnected.
These AI agent functionalities have made Manus not only a chatbot but almost close to getting a conscience. It has led many to call it a major leap forward in AI technology.
Chinese AI development:
As China continues to release autonomous AI agents, there is talk about the progress of AI and how it may impact us. As AI advancement in China continues to evolve, it has also raised questions about privacy and security concerns.
Regardless, we will be seeing the advancement of AI in a few industries:
