Agentic AI - Use Cases, Benefits, Risks - Webinar Preview
Agentic AI represents the next evolution in artificial intelligence, moving beyond generating content to executing actions autonomously on behalf of users. We explore how this technology differs from generative AI and why enterprise storage professionals need to prepare for its rapid adoption. On June 26, 2025, our SNIA experts will host a live webinar, "Agentic AI - Use Cases, Benefits, Risks," where they will discuss:• How Agentic AI generates actions, using tools or skills it has at its disposal• How Agentic AI is accelerating even faster than generative AI, making preparation essential• Finding appropriate fit-for-purpose use cases for successful and practical implementation• Real-world applications in actionSNIA is an industry organization that develops global standards and delivers vendor-neutral education on technologies related to data.
