Agentic Intelligence

Agentic Intelligence examines the emergence of AI systems capable of autonomous goal formation, adaptive decision-making, and sustained interaction across complex environments. Framed at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, ethics, and organizational practice, the book traces the conceptual foundations of agentic systems while rigorously interrogating their technical architectures and social implications. Through applied case studies spanning education, creative industries, and knowledge work, the volume demonstrates how agentic AI reshapes labor, authorship, and expertise rather than merely accelerating existing workflows. Written for researchers, practitioners, and institutional leaders, the book provides a critical framework for designing, governing, and integrating agentic systems responsibly within human-centered contexts.
