  • Agentic AI will be a critical differentiating capability. This framework can help business executives define, understand, and prepare for artificial intelligence agents.

The article by Douglas Laney on Forbes, published on January 3, 2025, discusses the evolution of AI agents through seven distinct levels, each representing a progression in AI's capability and integration into daily life and business operations. Starting from Level 1: Autonomous Agents, which are simple, rule-based systems like basic chatbots, the article progresses to Level 2: Collaborative Agents that can work together to achieve tasks. Level 3: Predictive Agents use data to forecast outcomes, while Level 4: Autonomous Decision-Making Agents can make decisions independently. Level 5: Learning Agents evolve through machine learning, adapting to new information. Level 6: Self-Aware Agents possess a form of consciousness, understanding their own existence, and finally, Level 7: Superintelligent Agents surpass human intelligence, potentially leading to significant societal changes. Laney emphasizes the importance of understanding these levels to prepare for the ethical, economic, and social implications of advanced AI, urging businesses and individuals to adapt to these emerging technologies proactively.
