Join us for an exploration of AI’s rising frontier as we delve into the transformative shift from Generative AI to Agentic AI. While generative AI brought us the ability to create content and solve problems, Agentic AI represents a quantum leap forward – autonomous and semi-autonomous systems that can understand, plan, and execute complex tasks through natural human interaction.
In this next session of KGS’ Emerging Technology Series, a panel of experts will unpack how AI has evolved from simply responding to prompts to becoming a proactive partner in business operations. Discover how organizations are already leveraging AI agents to automate workflows, enhance decision-making, and drive innovation using plain human language commands.
Key topics include:
• The evolution from generative to agentic AI systems
• Real-world applications and success stories
• How to implement and optimize AI agents in your organization
• Future implications for business and industry
Whether you’re a business leader, technology professional, or innovation enthusiast, this webinar will provide insights into how Agentic AI is reshaping the way we work and interact with intelligent systems.
Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
