Beyond Chatbots: The Rise of Autonomous AI

January 7, 2026 by BBG News

An agentic AI system functions as a closed-loop cycle, where environmental interactions and tool use provide input to perception, which feeds raw observations to a large language model brain for reasoning and planning-a process sustained by memory and enacted through action, effectively allowing the system to persistently adapt and execute within its environment.

As large language models evolve, the focus is shifting toward creating AI systems capable of independent planning, action, and problem-solving.
