Imagine having a dedicated team of employees who work tirelessly, 24/7, without needing a salary, medical insurance, or holidays. They never get sick, and they don’t have family issues that take them away from their work. This is the promise of agentic AI, a revolutionary self-operating system that is changing the world.
Agentic AI agents are not just tools; they are like a digital workforce. You give them a task, and they figure out the details, solve problems, handle delays, and deliver the final result directly to you. This level of automation means that a handful of these agents can do the work of hundreds of people, at incredible speeds.
The Power of AI Agents Across Industries
This technology isn’t a futuristic concept; it’s already here and being used in a variety of sectors. Here are a few examples of how AI agents are transforming different fields:
- Healthcare: A doctor sees a patient, and a nearby AI agent listens to the conversation. It automatically transcribes the discussion, cross-references it with the patient’s records, and compiles a comprehensive report on prescribed medications, tests, and previous conditions. This system allows doctors to focus on patient care, seeing up to 300 patients a day instead of just 10.
- Legal System: When a case is filed, an AI agent can instantly analyze the charges, review past precedents, and summarize previous rulings and judge decisions. This slashes research time from years to mere minutes, giving lawyers and judges a powerful tool for efficiency.
- Customer Service: An AI agent can handle customer queries with ease. For example, if a customer asks about a delayed delivery, the agent can automatically check the order status, contact the courier service, and even message the rider to get an updated delivery time—all without human intervention. This could make entire customer service teams redundant.
- Agriculture: By analyzing agricultural data, an AI agent can provide farmers with crucial advice on how to manage their crops during floods, improve soil conditions, and plan their sowing schedule to maximize yields and protect against environmental threats.
- Defense: In modern warfare, AI agents are already being used to identify, target, and engage targets autonomously. They make decisions and act at a speed that humans cannot match.
These are just a few of the over 600 use cases already implemented globally. From the BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars we drive to the latest iPhone 17, and from visa applications to university admissions, AI agents are becoming a part of our daily lives.
Building Your Future with AI
If you don’t understand these systems, you won’t be able to compete. The key is not to fight against them, but to learn how to adapt and leverage them to improve your life.
The speaker, Zeeshan Usmani, is a great example of this. He is working on a personal AI clone to automate his life. He is feeding his AI clone all his videos, books, research papers, and course content. This digital version of himself will be able to answer questions and recall information from his life’s work—something a human mind, with its natural limitations, could never do.
Imagine creating an AI agent for a celebrity like Shah Rukh Khan or building a personalized agent for an insurance professional to handle their client work. The possibilities are endless.
The Economic Impact of Agentic AI
The rise of AI will lead to a significant increase in global productivity and a substantial decrease in costs. A service that once cost $100 might soon cost just $10. For developed nations, this could lead to a Universal Basic Income (UBI) or even a Universal High Income, where citizens are provided with a stipend to live on while AI handles most of the work.
However, the question remains for countries like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, where UBI is not a realistic option. How will we adapt? How can we change our skill sets and launch new startups to thrive in this new world? This is a crucial conversation we need to have, and it’s the focus of an upcoming mega-session.
The future is here, and it’s powered by AI agents. The time to learn and adapt is now.
