Episode 7 of AI Insights and Innovation delves into the concept of Agentic AI and why it is important for us to understand and care about this technology. In this tutorial, we will take a deep dive into what Agentic AI is, its potential applications, and the implications it may have on society.
Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that are designed to act autonomously and make decisions on their own, without the need for human intervention. Unlike traditional AI systems that require explicit programming and rules, Agentic AI is capable of learning and adapting to the environment in real-time. This means that these systems have the ability to perceive and understand the world around them, and make decisions based on that understanding.
One of the key characteristics of Agentic AI is its ability to act independently and take actions based on its own reasoning. This can be seen in self-driving cars, which are equipped with Agentic AI algorithms that allow them to navigate roads, avoid obstacles, and make decisions on their own. Similarly, Agentic AI can be used in drones, robots, and other autonomous systems to perform tasks that would normally require human intervention.
The potential applications of Agentic AI are vast and varied. From healthcare to transportation, agriculture to manufacturing, Agentic AI has the potential to revolutionize industries and improve efficiency, productivity, and safety. For example, in healthcare, Agentic AI can be used to diagnose diseases, recommend treatment plans, and even assist in surgeries. In transportation, Agentic AI can be used to optimize traffic flow, reduce accidents, and improve fuel efficiency.
However, with great power comes great responsibility. The rise of Agentic AI also raises ethical and societal concerns that need to be addressed. One of the main concerns is the potential loss of jobs due to automation. As Agentic AI continues to evolve and replace human workers in various industries, there is a risk of mass unemployment and income inequality. Additionally, there are concerns about the impact of Agentic AI on privacy, security, and human autonomy.
Despite these challenges, it is important for us to care about Agentic AI and its implications. By understanding the potential benefits and risks of this technology, we can work towards harnessing its power for the greater good. This can be achieved through careful regulation, ethical guidelines, and transparent decision-making processes. Ultimately, Agentic AI has the potential to improve our lives in ways we never thought possible, and it is up to us to ensure that it is used responsibly and ethically.
i don't think there is any new info here…
What you describe at 9:55 doesnt sound like agentic AI. It sounds like how heavy machinery has worked for decades. Like a car's ECU that constantly tracks an engine's RPMs, fuel flow, oil pressure, etc and constantly adjusts camshafts, throttle body position, and even shifts gears for the driver. It tells the driver when there's an issue via a check engine light. How is the decision making in the pump jack software any different from the algorithms of an ECU or a power plant control system?
