Executive Summary
Agentic AI refers to intelligent platforms that can autonomously plan, decide and act to achieve goals with minimal human intervention. It can handle complex tasks end-to-end, operating continuously to scale expertise and reduce human coordination. Unlike traditional AI, which focuses on pattern recognition, or generative AI, which creates content, agentic AI is goal-oriented, decomposing complex goals into sub-tasks and revising plans as conditions change. It orchestrates three layers: Large Language Models for reasoning, ML algorithms for prediction, and autonomous agents for control. This approach allows agentic AI to operate independently, choosing actions and deciding when to act with or without human oversight.
