In this webinar, Professors Michael Wooldridge and Matthias Holweg trace the evolution of agentic AI, from its origins in autonomous systems and multi-agent research, through successive waves of optimism, practical constraint, and renewed breakthroughs that have shaped the field.

The session then turns to the present, showing how generative AI has revitalised agentic approaches by using language a powerful interface for planning, reasoning and coordination.

The discussion highlights where the promise is most immediate, and how leaders can assess agentic solutions with a focus on measurable productivity gains and responsible adoption.
