Agentic AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence system that can act autonomously, think like a chatbot on steroids, make decisions, and pursue goals with limited human supervision. These systems exhibit agency, meaning they can understand context, interpret instructions, set goals, reason through tasks, and adapt their actions based on changing conditions. Essentially, they aim to operate more like a human employee, performing tasks and making decisions with a degree of independence.
The World Economic Forum forecasts a gain of 78 million jobs by 2030 through AI activities; in Europe the private security sector will add 500,000 roles. Security leaders will evolve with a duality of experience that will be required to protect their organisations.
