Artificial Intelligence has officially leveled up with the emergence of Agentic AI, autonomous systems that can perceive, plan, decide, and act.
Agentic AI refers to models that operate with agency, setting goals, breaking them down into subtasks, and interacting with various tools or other AIs.
The development of agentic AI offers opportunities for automated action, such as autonomous penetration testing bots, auto-researching assistants, and AI-powered startups.
However, there are significant concerns regarding the safety and ethics of agentic AI, including goal misalignment, emergent behavior, tool abuse, and data privacy.
