DATA & ANALYTICS
WARNINGS OF AGENTIC AI supervision , agentic systems represent AI working autonomously .
Unlike traditional AI systems that are programmed for specific tasks , Agentic AI exhibits sophisticated capabilities such as autonomous decision-making , contextual reasoning , adaptable planning , and advanced language understanding .
Agentic AI operates more like a human employee , capable of understanding context , making judgement calls , and efficiently navigating multi-step processes across various applications . This enhanced level of autonomy and intelligence enables Agentic AI to tackle intricate challenges across diverse domains , potentially transforming how enterprises approach automation and decision-making .
The ‘ paperclip maximizer ’ is a thought experiment described by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom . It illustrates the existential risk that an artificial general intelligence may pose to human beings were it to be successfully designed to autonomously pursue even seemingly harmless goals .
“ Reasoning and agentic behaviour will be the next areas of innovation to bear enterprise-deployable solutions ,” explains Jeff Lunsford , CEO at Tealium . “ We will soon see models that can perform more complex ‘ agentic reasoning ’ and achieve goals assigned to them .”
In an enterprise setting , having Agentic AI could act as a huge benefit . Currently , AI works to optimise the tasks of humans ’ workflow , but Agentic AI would see an independent AI worker on the team .
