AI Agents Are Making Decisions: Are We Ready for the Agentic AI Future?
🤖 AI Agents Are No Longer Just Chatbots: Can We Trust Autonomous AI? The Rise of Agentic AI and the New Security Challenge ✍️ By Technical Rakesh Sharma Introduction Artificial Intelligence is entering a new phase. The first major wave of generative AI focused on creating content, answering questions, writing code, generating images, and summarizing information. The next wave is different. Instead of simply responding to users, AI Agents are increasingly being designed to plan tasks, use tools, interact with software, and complete multi-step workflows. This shift is commonly described as Agentic AI . And in 2026, the technology is becoming one of the most important developments in AI. Research based on OpenAI's Codex usage found rapid growth in agentic AI adoption during the first half of 2026, including substantial changes in how users organize complex workflows. At the same time, security researchers and technology companies are paying increasing attention to the risks of auto...
