Agentic Ai and the Age of Autonomy

Overview
Agentic Ai is quickly becoming one of the hottest topics in Ai. With Open Ai, Microsoft, Salesforce and a host of startups building solutions and the major consulting firms hyping it up, it is quickly gaining momentum and becoming a topic of debate. In this talk, we’ll look into the era of Agentic AI—a class of autonomous, reasoning-driven systems poised to redefine automation, decision-making, and the future of work. As LLMs move beyond pre-trained responses towards inference-time "reasoning", agents can increasingly orchestrate "work" through complex processes with contextual awareness dynamically in real time. This evolution could lead to a transformative leap in fields like healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and many more where AI can operate with greater autonomy and nuanced decision-making. While the hype holds big promises, the challenges may be equally significant. Complexity, cost, compute, and ethical implications are among a host of considerations agentic ai (and humanity) will need to grapple with. Through this exploration we will also cover how to prepare for an agentic era and how it may unfold in the coming years.
