Agentic Artificial Intelligence: Evolution, Core Capabilities, and Challenges

Introduction Agentic AI is an entirely new innovation in the line of AI-generated art. It is capable of goal-oriented, autonomous, and adaptable decision-making. Whereas earlier generations of AI were always confined to certain limits and took direct commands for maximum performance, Agentic AI designs do things on their own within open and complex environments (Hu et al., 2024). That independence brings with it the capability to set goals of its own, grounded by context knowledge, and to update strategies against a shifting environment. Evolution and Development of Agentic AI The development of Agentic AI represents a radical paradigm shift from conventional systems to advanced models that are capable of independent decision-making and self-learning. According to Greenstein (2022), traditional AI relied essentially on rule-based systems with supervised learning, wherein explicit programming of algorithms was performed for specific tasks using predefined rules and labelled datasets. ...
