Description
Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is a pivotal evolution in the field of AI, which transitions from systems that require explicit instructions to proactive agents capable of autonomously completing complex tasks. An agentic AI system can accomplish specific goals with sophisticated reasoning and limited guidance.
This event will explore the current state of agentic AI, including its use cases, potential value, risks, opportunities, and challenges. Panellists will examine the emergence of agentic AI, share real-world implementation examples, and address the considerations involved in its deployment.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of agentic AI, explore its potential to enhance public services, and learn how to effectively leverage this technology in the Government of Canada.
