Agentic AI: The Next Frontier in Artificial Intelligence
In recent months, a new buzzword has emerged in the ever-expanding world of AI: Agentic AI. While traditional AI/ML models and generative AI chatbots have been instrumental in solving complex problems and generating content, they operate primarily within the constraints of human-provided inputs and prompts. This is where Agentic AI sets itself apart.
What is Agentic AI?
Agentic AI refers to AI systems—often termed "agents"—that are designed to act autonomously on behalf of humans. Unlike conventional AI, these agents possess the capability to make decisions independently in pursuit of a specific goal. They communicate and collaborate with other AI agents and digital systems, analyse situations or data, formulate strategies, and execute actions with minimal human intervention.
These agents are equipped to:
The result is an intelligent system capable of solving complex problems, fulfilling user requests, and achieving goals with remarkable efficiency.

Why Does Agentic AI Matter?
Agentic AI holds the potential to revolutionize industries by automating intricate business processes that were previously out of reach. Various domain-specific agents can be developed to collaborate to design and execute complex enterprise-wide workflows, supporting decision-making or even taking autonomous, high-stakes decisions in some cases. This has the potential to:
A Transformative Leap Forward
Agentic AI represents the pinnacle of decades of innovation in AI, blending advancements in generative AI, machine learning, and autonomous systems to deliver something truly transformative. By taking the baton from its predecessors, it offers a new paradigm of efficiency, intelligence, and autonomy.
As businesses and industries will begin to embrace this ground-breaking technology, the potential for unprecedented innovation and growth is immense. With Agentic AI, we stand at the dawn of a new era—one where machines don’t just assist us but can/will also act as proactive collaborators in achieving our most ambitious goals.

3moHi Amit, Yes AI agents will democratize AI more. I believe future will be of "super agents" or agents which orchestrates other agents.

4moAgentic pipelines are future, probably solving problem related to security exploits and improving explainability of system would help build more robust solutions, as when these systems show unpredictable behaviours risk mitigation is very difficult.
Building data products - transforming FSI
4moIronically like the AI/ML/Deep learning waves GenAi is being questioned for either being or not being a silver bullet. I have two points to share - reasoning was something elusive until now and that is why is is so unique. Of course when you want a tighter control you should look at a compound AI type solution rather than truly Agentic. Secondly the onus of having explainability and more generally building trust is the job of people like us who are deploying solutions - this is the lack of imagination or black box approach we often get into. A good solution starts backwards with implementation and earning trust of users is so pivotal. This could be achieved in n number of ways which may be direct explainability (like reasoning models sharing their plan - how O1 Pro already does by the way) or derails logs, data from Past transactions, supporting models (basically solution of levers) - simple example of which is how search engine shows multiple pages each with time and let you decide - they also had top search which we never used Machines are not taking over - yes but this new thinking wave with ability to react via reason, tooling and memory is. Question is not when in my mind but how soon!
