Summary

Agentic AI systems — networks of specialized AI agents that plan, reason, coordinate and act toward business goals — are beginning to function less like tools and more like digital teammates. In this HBR webinar, Vivian S. Lee and Linda Mantia explore how agentic AI is changing the way work gets done, and what leaders must do to position their organizations to compete in an era where humans and AI agents work side by side.
