Autonomous Intelligence

Autonomous Intelligence: Designing the Future of Agentic Systems provides insights into how autonomous technologies—from robots to AI-driven systems— are transforming industries and daily life. It 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. Autonomous Intelligence: Designing the Future of Agentic Systems is broken down into six parts: 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. It considers how these technologies function, as well as addressing concerns about their integration, their limitations, their potential benefits, and the 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. Ranging from academic and theoretical concepts to case studies and practical examples, Autonomous Intelligence: Designing the Future of Agentic Systems allows the reader to confidently engage with, apply, and respond to agentic intelligence in their study, work, and daily lives.
