The free PDF briefing and podcast outlines the rapid rise of agentic AI as a transformative technological trend in 2025, distinguishing it from traditional AI by its capacity for autonomous decision-making and end-to-end process execution. Based on a Capgemini Research Institute survey of 1,500 executives, the report forecasts significant economic value from AI agents, projected to reach £360 billion by 2028 through revenue uplift and cost savings. While adoption rates are increasing, there are notable challenges, including a decline in trust in fully autonomous AI agents and significant knowledge, data, and infrastructure gaps within organisations. The document also explores the evolving dynamics of human-AI collaboration, emphasising the need for workforce restructuring, ethical integration, and the development of critical skills to successfully implement agentic AI and balance autonomy with human oversight. Ultimately, it stresses that success hinges on a holistic rethinking of business operations and ethical safeguards, rather than simply deploying more AI tools.
