As AI evolves from being a tool to an autonomous agent, how will businesses, governments, and individuals navigate the disruption?
In the excerpt below, Pranjal Sharma, Economic Analyst, Advisor, and Author, unpacks the seismic shifts ahead—where AI no longer assists but autonomously drives decisions, forcing enterprises to rethink roles, workflows, and the very fabric of work itself.
Are we ready for this transformation?“The AI era has just begun. Evolving versions of AI are emerging and finding mainstream applications. From prompt-based AI, the world of business will face autonomous, automated, agentic AI. The impact of evolving versions of AI will be deep and disruptive. Governments will struggle with the regulatory aspect while private enterprises will have to be in a constant change mode. Starts-ups will be agile enough to adopt while consumers will be sharp enough to adopt it for their personal use. This inclusion of agentic AI will enable 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously.”
“Today humans work with AI tools to complete various functions. The direction and objectives are set by humans. Agentic AI would change that. For enterprises, there will be yet another wave of organizational and workflow change. Companies will have to reinvent roles, processes, and working models. This will lead to a widespread redistribution of tasks between human and virtual workers. As a consequence, HR leaders and enterprises will require significant investments in upskilling, retraining, and reassigning team members.”
