Agentic AI is emerging as a transformative force in 2025, characterized by its ability to autonomously perceive, reason, and act without human intervention. This evolution represents a significant leap from generative AI, focusing on automation, decision-making, and adaptability across industries. Here’s a summary of the current developments:

Key Features and Capabilities

• Autonomy: Agentic AI can independently execute tasks, make decisions, and adapt to real-time changes, distinguishing it from generative AI, which focuses on content creation.
• Advanced Reasoning: These systems incorporate reasoning capabilities, enabling them to handle complex workflows and strategic actions.
• Tool Integration: Agentic AI can interact with external tools and APIs, enhancing its ability to perform sophisticated tasks like compliance assessments or negotiations.

4/20/2025 Update

This week, the AI industry stopped pretending it’s just building “assistants” and started showing us what it really wants: Agents that think for themselves, see like humans, write your code, run your meetings and maybe — just maybe — delete your job and your inbox. (AGI Weekly).

While that sounds a little much, we shouldn’t be surprised. Media has been warning that this was coming.

OpenAI launched models that “think with images.” Anthropic turned Claude into your new executive assistant (minus the coffee runs). ByteDance joined the reasoning arms race. And Sam Altman took the TED stage to explain why 800 million people using ChatGPT every week isn’t a red flag — it’s just Tuesday.

So buckle up. The agents are here, they brought tools and they’re not asking for permission.

Also, this week, China showed off with a foot race with some robot contestants. As an early demo, it wasn’t a perfect race but it certainly showed off potential. See a little HERE.
