Hi,
Several folks in this TG have shared their perspectives regarding whether intelligent agents should be considered tools, teammates, or something else. Last year, I wrote up a short review of the various points of view. I recently uploaded a slightly revised version of the review to arXiv. If you would like to access this report, please use this link:
