Agentic AI
AI that acts — plans, uses tools, self-corrects — rather than only producing text.
Agentic AI is the adjectival form: the qualities that make a system an agent, chiefly autonomy and the ability to affect the world. The practical shift is from ’the model writes a draft’ to ’the model does the task’, which changes the risk profile entirely. Anything that can act can act wrongly, at speed.
In practice: The difference between a model describing how to file the expense and one filing it.
