Partners Omer Tene and Kevin Liu write for The Journal of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Law that the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape is evolving at a dizzying pace. Just as organizations were adapting to generative AI and its capabilities for creating content, a new paradigm has emerged. Agentic AI—systems that do not just generate responses but that take actions on behalf of users—is rapidly becoming the focal point of enterprise AI strategies, bringing powerful capabilities and complex challenges. Before we fully grasped the agentic inflection point, AI agents began interacting with each other in multi-agent environments. The shift began in late January, when OpenAI launched Operator. Rather than simply responding to queries with text, images, or code, AI models, such as Anthropic’s “Computer Use” and Perplexity’s “Buy with Pro,” were now making decisions and executing tasks autonomously. What followed was a cascade of corporate adoptions, with the world’s largest professional services firms announcing major initiatives within months.
