Technology Evolves from Thought to Action
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.” — Arthur C. Clarke.
Generative AI (gen AI) has amazed the world with its ability to extract insights and create content across text, audio, images, and video. Foundation models, like large language models (LLMs), have been at the forefront of this revolution. But the next phase promises to be even more transformative.
We’re shifting from knowledge-based gen-AI tools, like chatbots that answer questions, to gen AI-powered agents capable of executing complex, multistep tasks in the digital world. In essence, technology evolves from thought to action.
Broadly speaking, “agentic” systems refer to digital systems that can independently interact in a dynamic world.
While similar software systems have existed for years, the natural-language capabilities of generative AI (gen AI) unlock new possibilities. These systems can now plan actions, use online tools to complete tasks, collaborate with others, and learn from their experiences. Gen AI agents…
