We are now entering the era of Agentic AI, where AI systems no longer just answer questions but autonomously execute tasks, coordinate steps, and adapt to changing goals. In this conversation with Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran, Fellow and Chief Technology Officer, Kyndryl India, we explore what Agentic AI really means, how it builds on Large Language Models (LLMs), and what it takes to make it real, responsible, and reliable.
Experts from Infosys, Tech Mahindra, and Nasscom stress the need for industry standards to ensure safe deployment of agentic AI—autonomous systems that act with minimal oversight. While offering major efficiency gains, these agents pose high risks like system misuse, value misalignment, and security breaches.
Agentic AI is revolutionizing manufacturing in India, projected to be a $1.73 billion market by 2030. This self-operating technology enhances smart manufacturing by enabling autonomous decision-making and real-time responsiveness. It optimizes production lines, predicts equipment failure, and improves supply chain visibility. Agentic AI also contributes to sustainability by optimizing energy consumption and enhances customer service with 24/7 personalized support.
A CIO needs to be constantly updated to stay relevant in today's dynamic tech landscape, says the tech leader.
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence, particularly Agentic AI and the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), is transforming the tech landscape. Companies like Google and OpenAI are at the forefront, developing AI systems capable of complex tasks. While AI may displace some jobs involving repetitive tasks, it also creates new opportunities requiring creativity and strategic thinking.
The future of work isn’t coming, it’s already here. In Southeast Asia, Agentic AI is shifting AI from a passive assistant to an autonomous actor. From hiring to L&D, these agents are making decisions, executing tasks, and transforming workflows. This article explores what’s fueling the shift and why now is the time to pay attention
