Microsoft has launched a new AI model called Magma, capable of autonomously controlling robots and processing multimodal data such as text, images, and video.

This AI can plan and act in the visual-spatial world, allowing it to complete tasks like UI navigation and robotic manipulation.

While Magma has shown impressive results in tests, such as handling a robotic arm and assisting humans in real-world tasks, it still faces limitations, Futurism has reported.

The transition toward AI agents like Magma raises concerns about cybersecurity risks and potential unintended consequences.
