Report Abstract:

Against the background of continuous iteration of large model technology, agents, with their autonomous decision-making and execution capabilities, have become the core carrier connecting technology and complex application scenarios. Based on the hierarchical architecture of perception-planning-execution, they have formed typical applications in intelligent assistants and multi-agent collaboration. At present, large-scale deployment of agents faces multiple security challenges and difficulties. Starting from basic understanding of agents, this report systematically reviews their core principles and classic applications, focuses on security challenges and key difficulties in complex scenarios, and discusses research ideas and solutions.
