Description: Autonomous Intelligence: Designing the Future of Agentic Systems provides insights on how autonomous technologies--from robots to AI-driven systems-- are transforming industries and daily life. The book explores how these intelligent agents operate independently, making decisions and taking actions without constant human intervention. Through clear explanations and real-world examples, the book serves as a gateway for both novices and experts as it simplifies the complexities of autonomous systems. Sections cover Foundations of AI and Autonomy; Understanding Agentic Intelligence; Technology Enablers and Architectures; Design, Safety, and Deployment; Sectoral Applications of Agentic AI; Societal, Ethical, and Future Considerations.
The book also considers how these technologies function, while also addressing concerns about their integration, limitations, potential benefits, and possible risks. In a rapidly evolving field, the book looks at latest trends, applications, and research, and at the ethical and legal considerations, especially in areas like employment, privacy, and accountability.Brief description:
