The Evolution of AI and Agentic AI in Business

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase of maturity.


Beyond generative AI, organisations are now witnessing the emergence of agentic AI — systems capable of reasoning, deciding and acting autonomously to achieve business goals.

This white paper explores:

• How AI has evolved from rules-based systems to generative and agentic AI
From early automation to GenAI and now agentic systems, the paper traces the key technological shifts shaping enterprise adoption.

• What makes agentic AI fundamentally different from traditional AI
Agentic AI moves beyond assistance to autonomous execution, enabling AI agents to collaborate, orchestrate workflows and act on behalf of users.

• The business impact of agentic AI across industries
From operations and finance to customer service and compliance, agentic AI delivers productivity gains, real-time decision-making and scalable execution.

• Key use cases and emerging opportunities
The paper highlights practical examples of how organisations are already deploying agentic AI to transform supply chains, IT operations, financial processes and customer experiences.

• Risks, considerations and organisational readiness
Deploying agentic AI requires modern infrastructure, robust data governance, clear accountability and a shift in operating models.

• Why agentic AI is a strategic imperative
Agentic AI is not a simple technology upgrade — it represents a structural change in how businesses operate, compete and create value in an increasingly autonomous, digital-first economy.
