AI on its own: How tech is reshaping work as GenAI adoption grows in India

Agentic AI, software systems capable of performing complex tasks with minimal human oversight, will likely be the biggest tech trend in 2025

What will be the big technology trend in 2025? It will likely be agentic artificial intelligence (AI), according to top executives and analysts.
