What if machines could do more than follow instructions? What if they could think, decide, and act with a sense of purpose-almost like partners in problem-solving rather than tools at your command? In The Power of Agentic AI, John A. Delaney takes you on a clear, thought-provoking journey into the next generation of intelligent systems. This isn't about ordinary automation. It's about creating purposeful, self-directed systems that learn, adapt, and make decisions in complex environments. Have you ever wondered how a system could: Adjust its behavior when unexpected challenges appear?Balance multiple goals while staying aligned with the outcomes you care about most?Learn from experience in ways that make it more effective over time? These are the questions this book explores-questions that go far beyond today's common discussions of algorithms and models. You'll discover not only the principles behind agentic intelligence but also how these systems are designed, how they can be trusted, and how they might reshape the way we work and live. John A. Delaney writes with clarity and precision, making advanced concepts approachable without oversimplifying them. Each chapter connects ideas to practical possibilities, showing how purpose-driven machines can be applied in fields as diverse as business, science, and daily decision-making. This book will challenge you to think differently about the future of technology. Instead of asking, What can machines do? it asks, What should machines be empowered to achieve? Whether you're a researcher, a professional looking to stay ahead of innovation, or simply a curious reader fascinated by the future of intelligence, The Power of Agentic AI will give you the insights and frameworks you need to understand this transformative shift. So let me ask you-are you ready to move beyond passive tools and explore a future where intelligent systems become active, purposeful collaborators? If so, turn the page. The journey into the power of agentic AI begins here.
