More Detail
Abstract (English) : An engaging webinar on Agentic AI—the next frontier in artificial intelligence, where systems can plan, make decisions, and take action toward goals with increasing autonomy. This lekgotla will introduce participants to the rapidly evolving world of agentic behaviour, exploring what it is, why it is generating significant excitement across research, industry, and society, and how it may transform the way we work, learn, and solve complex problems.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the opportunities presented by agentic AI, including its potential to enhance productivity, support innovation, and enable more adaptive and intelligent systems. At the same time, the session will take a balanced and critical view, highlighting key considerations such as reliability, human oversight, ethical use, and emerging risks as these technologies become more capable and widely deployed.
