After Agentic AI — What Comes Next?
Agentic AI is here. It's powering factories, reshaping consulting, and embedding itself deep into enterprise infrastructure. But what happens after agents that act, plan, and adapt?
In this episode we're exploring the frontier beyond agentic AI: self-orchestrating agent networks, persistent memory, hybrid physical-digital systems, and even the beginnings of an “agentic web.” Along the way, we dive into fresh reporting on Amazon’s agent infrastructure, Accenture’s massive upskilling push, and OpenAI’s robotics revival. Plus, new research on governance, small models, and agent ecosystems.
You’ll hear why observability and runtime safety are becoming critical, how modularity could beat raw scale, and what signals to watch for as we move into the post-agentic era.
Whether you’re building AI tools, leading teams, or just curious about where autonomy goes next, this episode gives you a clear, engaging roadmap of the challenges and possibilities ahead.
