Agentic AI Systems: Architecture, Capabilities, and Implications for Autonomous Decision-Making

This paper explores **Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI)** systems that exhibit autonomous, goal-directed behavior and independent decision-making. It discusses their **architectural foundations**, including reasoning engines, memory systems, and planning frameworks that enable self-directed actions. The study highlights key **capabilities** such as multi-step reasoning, tool use, and adaptive learning across various domains. It also examines **challenges** related to safety, alignment, and ethical deployment. Overall, the paper emphasizes the transformative potential of agentic AI and the need for responsible governance in its development.
