1.1 Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from rule-based expert systems to self-learning models capable of reasoning, understanding, and acting in complex environments. The next major shift in this evolution is the rise of Agentic AI<\/strong> \u2014 an emerging paradigm where AI systems move beyond passive data processing to autonomous, goal-driven, and context-aware behavior<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agentic AI represents a class of intelligent systems that can act, decide, and adapt<\/strong> with minimal human intervention while maintaining alignment with human values, objectives, and ethics. It integrates the principles of autonomy, proactivity, and reasoning<\/strong> with deep learning, reinforcement learning, and cognitive modeling to create systems capable of real-time decision-making<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
