Boardroom buzz on Agentic AI
There are notable company discussions around agentic AI in 2025, as firms shift from generative AI (GenAI) pilots toward autonomous, decision-making AI systems, according to GlobalData.

GlobalData business fundamentals analyst Misa Singh, says: “The mentions of agentic AI in corporate filings have moved from theoretical to strategic. While tariffs and trade policy remain headline risks, boardrooms are doubling down on AI agents, blockchain, and tokenisation as strategic levers.

Manufacturing and supply chain companies are framing agentic AI as a driver of predictive maintenance, demand planning, and logistics optimisation, says the research organisation.
