Agentic AI: The Next Self (From Large Language Models to Autonomous Agents)

“Agentic AI:The Next Self”Foundations Integration and Future Directions explores the next frontier of artificial intelligence where creativity meets autonomy. The book examines how generative models produce text images and ideas while agentic systems plan reason and act independently. It bridges theory and practice offering insights into the fusion of these paradigms for real-world applications. Readers will gain a deep understanding of LLMs agentic frameworks and multimodal AI. Ethical legal and societal implications are critically discussed ensuring a balanced perspective. Written in clear structured language it connects core principles with cutting-edge research. This book is especially helpful for students researchers educators and AI professionals seeking to understand the evolution from generative to autonomous intelligence. It also serves as a valuable reference for policymakers and innovators aiming to build responsible human-aligned AI systems for the future.
