The new buzzword in tech is definitely Agentic AI, but what exactly is it, and should we be worried?
Firstly, Agentic AI means handing over more control to an increasingly powerful AI application. It will be able to make more decisions on its own and, as a result, do more for the end user.
For example, if you want to book tickets to an event, Agentic AI will be able to handle almost everything. That means you can issue a prompt like: “Book me tickets to the Beyoncé concert next month.”
It will then find out exactly when the concert is, check with the user about seating preferences, and then confirm payment, either through biometrics or facial recognition software.
