2. What is Agentic AI?
- Agentic AI systems act autonomously to achieve goals without continuous human input.
- Unlike reactive AI (which responds only to inputs) or generative AI (which creates content but is not goal-driven), Agentic AI plans, adapts, and makes decisions proactively.
- Examples: OpenAI’s deep research for data analysis, Google Gemini 2.0 for multi-modal reasoning, ServiceNow’s AI agent orchestrator for enterprise automation.
- Ethical concerns include alignment with human values, accountability, transparency, safety, and security.
3. Comparison: Agentic AI vs Generative AI
- Generative AI: Focuses on content creation (text, images, code), depends on prompts, reactive.
- Agentic AI: Autonomous, goal-driven, capable of multi-step task execution and adaptation.
- Complementary roles: generative AI fuels creativity; Agentic AI drives autonomous action.
