Agentic AI

Reposting this great breakdown of Agentic AI by Sean Duca - Chief Technology Officer | Cybersecurity | Risk Management Strategist | Board Advisor

Agentic AI is an exciting area of AI evolution—where systems move beyond passive automation to proactively plan, decide, and take action.

The opportunity? As true Agentic AI evolves, it has the potential to redefine industries, unlocking new ways for businesses to automate, optimize, and innovate.

The more I explore Agentic AI, the more I notice a shift from reactive tools to proactive partners.

Traditional AI systems respond to commands, follow preset rules, and react only when triggered. However, the future requires more than this approach.

Agentic AI represents a fundamental change: it observes, learns, and acts autonomously by utilising the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) to adapt in real time.

Agentic AI is built on three pillars:

- Intelligence Core: The central decision-making engine 

- OODA Components: A continuous cycle of learning and action 

- Adaptive Modules: Real-time sensing and feedback 

Unlike traditional AI, Agentic AI proactively prevents problems before they arise.

- Smart Cities: Optimises traffic flow, energy distribution, and emergency responses before issues occur. 

- Personalised Healthcare: Predicts potential health risks and autonomously adjusts treatment plans, moving towards medicine designed specifically for you, minimising trial and error. 

- Autonomous Cybersecurity: Anticipates threats, adapts defences, and neutralises attacks before they can impact systems. 

Key features of Agentic AI should include:

- Adaptive Learning: Continuously evolves 

- Decision Intelligence: Optimises choices in real time 

- Collaborative Systems: 

-Works seamlessly with other AI agents 

- Ethical Framework: 

-Operates within defined moral boundaries 

- Proactive Planning: Anticipates needs and takes action 

- Resource Optimisation: 

-Self-manages and allocates resources efficiently 

As we enter an era of autonomous decision-making AI, industries will undergo transformation at an amazing pace.
