"A new report Tuesday by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Boston Consulting Group, who surveyed more than 2,000 business executives around the world, describes agentic AI as a "new class of systems" that "can plan, act, and learn on their own." "They are not just tools to be operated or assistants waiting for instructions," says the MIT Sloan Management Review report. "Increasingly, they behave like autonomous teammates, capable of executing multistep processes and adapting as they go.""
"AI chatbots - such as the original ChatGPT that debuted three years ago this month - rely on systems called large language models that predict the next word in a sentence based on the huge trove of human writings they've been trained on. They can sound remarkably human, especially when given a voice, but are effectively performing a kind of word completion."
Agentic AI denotes systems that can plan, act, and learn autonomously, executing multistep processes and adapting as they go. Generative AI chatbots rely on large language models that predict text and excel at answering questions, summarizing information, creating content, and coding, but they mainly perform word completion and require user instructions. Agentic systems aim to take actions on behalf of users, behave like autonomous teammates, and carry out tasks without step-by-step direction. Industry vendors and major tech companies are positioning agentic AI as the next evolution beyond chatbots, and executive surveys and search trends show rapidly growing interest.
