Agentic AI represents a class of artificial intelligence systems designed to act autonomously, make decisions, and pursue defined goals within dynamic environments.
Unlike static models or reactive machine learning systems, agentic AI incorporates planning, intent modeling, and multi-step reasoning to adapt and interact effectively.
These systems are core to emerging technologies such as autonomous agents, intelligent virtual assistants, simulation-based learning, and decision-support networks.
Understanding agentic AI requires knowledge in areas like reinforcement learning, symbolic reasoning, cognitive architectures, and ethical AI frameworks.
