Agentic AI

Definition

Artificial intelligence systems that can autonomously plan, reason, and execute multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention. Unlike traditional AI that responds to single prompts, agentic AI operates with goal-directed behavior, making decisions, using tools, and adapting its approach based on results. In workforce contexts, agentic AI transforms how organizations structure roles by automating complex workflows that previously required human judgment, necessitating organizational redesign and new skill development strategies.
