Definition
Agentic AI refers to systems that can act independently to achieve goals, making decisions and taking actions without constant human supervision.
How It Works
Agentic AI combines language understanding with planning and execution capabilities. Given a goal, it breaks down tasks, chooses actions, monitors progress, and adjusts strategies.
These systems can work for extended periods, handling complex multi-step processes autonomously.
Why It Matters
Agentic AI represents the shift from AI as a tool to AI as a digital worker. It can handle entire workflows rather than just individual tasks.
This capability could transform how work gets done but also raises questions about control and accountability.
