From automated to agentic to scaled agentic
The evolution of AI systems is moving beyond simple automation into increasingly agentic and collaborative intelligence. This talk traces the progression from automated systems, where rules and models carry out predefined tasks, to agentic AI, where autonomous agents make decisions, adapt to context, and interact with humans and other systems in dynamic ways. Finally, we explore what it means to reach scaled agentic systems - where many agents coordinate at enterprise or ecosystem scale, unlocking new forms of productivity, creativity, and complexity.
