The advent of agentic AI has left many organizations grappling with strategic choices around how to prepare for and use the new technology to create value. Agentic AI’s ability to automate complex tasks, coordinate with other artificial intelligence (AI) systems, make decisions, and potentially take action without human intervention has created high expectations. But cutting through the agentic AI hype rests on well-informed and decisive leadership, says Jeremy Groeteke, global head of IT and digital strategy at the Basel, Switzerlandbased agricultural innovation company Syngenta.
“Our CEO and CIO really grabbed the bull by the horns and saw where the AI revolution was going,” he says. “They understood how agentic AI could transform our industry and other industries around us and where we could capitalize on it for best effect.” Early adopters are moving ahead with great strides, whether helping farmers grow crops or assisting doctors in delivering better patient care. Moreover, this groundbreaking technology is likely to create value in ways not yet anticipated as new use cases are discovered.
