Frank H. Witt: Agentic AI and AI Agents, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

What happens when intelligence is decoupled from human consciousness?

This book explores the fundamental shift brought about by generative AI and autonomous multi-agent systems: a silent but radical transformation of economy, society, and human self-understanding. Building on the previous German volume Künstliche Intelligenz - Transformation und Krisen von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, this expanded and updated English edition introduces a new core: the rise of agentic AI and the emerging ecosystems of intelligent, goal-directed AI agents. These agents no longer simply assist - they collaborate, negotiate, delegate, and learn autonomously, creating new forms of interaction between human actors and artificial intelligences.

Inspired by the breakthrough success of intelligent learning machines enabled by a line of thinking and experiments proving its validity, starting with Ludwig Wittgenstein, Alan Turing, John Hopfield, Terrence Sejnowski and Geoffrey Hinton, the book offers a multidisciplinary analysis of:

• The evolution of artificial agency beyond Large Language Models
• Socioeconomic implications of autonomous agents in business, education, and governance
• The epistemological and psychological challenges of living with intelligent systems
