Charting Nine Stages of the AI Revolution

This deep-dive analyses an article titled "Charting the Future: Nine Stages of AI Evolution" by Greg Twemlow, explores the concept of Agentic AI, a new phase in the evolution of artificial intelligence. It distinguishes Agentic AI from its predecessor, Generative AI, by highlighting its goal-oriented nature and suitability for enterprise applications. The article explains that Agentic AI utilizes multiple agents working in concert under a supervising agent, making it well-suited for complex tasks like supply chain management. It also discusses the potential of Agentic AI to enhance efficiency, scalability, and decision-making in various industries, while recognizing the need for continued advancements in AI technology and infrastructure. Finally, it places Agentic AI as a crucial stepping stone towards the development of Autonomous General Intelligence (AGI), emphasizing their complementary roles in the future of artificial intelligence.About the Author - Greg Twemlow writes and teaches at the intersection of technology, education, and human judgment.
