At the forefront of this revolution is agentic AI , a sophisticated form of AI capable of autonomous decision-making, proactive problem-solving, and adaptive learning. Unlike traditional AI systems that rely on predefined rules, agentic AI systems can independently analyze vast datasets, identify patterns, and make decisions to achieve specific goals. In retail, this technology is redefining how businesses understand and engage with customers, optimize operations, and drive growth. Big data, characterized by its volume, velocity, and variety, provides the raw material for agentic AI to generate actionable customer insights. From purchase histories and browsing behaviors to social media interactions and demographic profiles, retailers now have access to an unprecedented wealth of data. Agentic AI leverages this data to create hyper-pe...

  Introduction In the era of big data, where organizations generate and collect vast amounts of information from diverse sources, the ability to visualize and interpret this data effectively is paramount. Traditional data visualization tools, while powerful, often require significant human intervention, from data cleaning to chart selection and insight extraction. This process can be time-consuming and prone to human error, especially when dealing with petabytes of data that update in real-time. Enter agentic AI—a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence where systems are not just reactive but proactive, autonomous agents capable of planning, executing tasks, and adapting to achieve specific goals. Agentic AI goes beyond generative models by incorporating reasoning, memory, and action-oriented capabilities, allowing it to interact with data ecosystems independently. In the context of big data analytics, agentic AI enhances data visualization by automating complex workflows, u...

  Introduction In the era of Big Data, organizations collect massive volumes of structured and unstructured data from diverse sources. However, raw data is rarely perfect. It often contains errors, missing values, duplicates, or inconsistencies that compromise its quality and reliability. Data cleaning, also known as data preprocessing, is therefore a crucial step in any Big Data project. Traditional approaches to data cleaning are often manual, rule-based, and time-consuming.  With the advent of Agentic AI , a new paradigm is emerging—one that automates, adapts, and optimizes data cleaning at scale. What is Agentic AI? Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that operate with goal-driven autonomy , capable of perceiving their environment, reasoning about tasks, and taking actions without continuous human oversight. Unlike static machine learning models, Agentic AI agents can dynamically adapt to new conditions, negotiate trade-offs, and optimize workflows i...
