Autonomous Decision-Making: Agentic AI in Data-Driven Enterprises
Introduction In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), the emergence of agentic AI represents a paradigm shift from passive tools to proactive entities capable of independent action. Agentic AI systems, often referred to as AI agents, are designed to perceive their environment, reason about goals, plan sequences of actions, and execute them autonomously. This chapter delves into the integration of agentic AI within data-driven enterprises—organizations that leverage vast amounts of data to inform strategy, operations, and innovation. As businesses increasingly rely on data analytics, machine learning, and real-time insights, agentic AI offers a pathway to autonomous decision-making, enabling enterprises to operate with unprecedented efficiency, agility, and intelligence. The chapter explores the foundational concepts of agentic AI, its synergy with data-driven frameworks, practical applications, benefits, challenges, and future implications. By exami...
