AI and Agentics in business and society
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond single tools into what we call agentics. These are networks of smart, specialised agents that work together like high-performing teams. These multi-agent crews are starting to change everything from how boards make decisions to how public services run.
Some organisations are already looking at Chief Agentic Officers to coordinate these digital workforces. The results can be powerful: agents can draft marketing copy, check invoices, improve supply chains or even support students with learning while constantly improving by sharing what they know.
At a wider level, the same approach could transform healthcare, government services and lifelong education. But this only works if we put the right structures around it: clear governance, fair access to training, and strong ethical safeguards.
By designing agentic systems with care building in human oversight, open metrics and inclusion we can turn raw computing power into shared prosperity. Done well, it lets people and machines create value together.
This blog is a place for me to share my thinking on these opportunities and what it might take to make them real.
