Agentic AI

What is it?

Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that exhibit a sense of agency or autonomy in their decision-making processes. These systems are designed to act independently, make decisions, and take actions based on their understanding of the environment and their goals. Agentic AI is characterized by its ability to perceive, reason, and act in a way that mimics human-like agency, often involving complex cognitive processes and adaptive behaviors.
