US company Anthropic has developed an AI model named Claude that can carry out tasks on the computer, such as filling out forms and building websites.
Anthropic acknowledges that the model is experimental and prone to errors, but expects its capability to improve over time.
Microsoft has also launched a product allowing companies to build their own autonomous AI agents, aimed at reducing 'drudge' work such as filling out forms and handling client queries.
While these advancements offer opportunities for efficiency and automation, there are concerns about the potential impact on high-skilled jobs.
