Overview

Have you ever wondered what truly makes an intelligent system feel alive, capable of making decisions, adapting to challenges, and learning on its own? Most discussions around artificial intelligence stop at surface-level explanations: machine learning, algorithms, automation. But here's the question: What happens when an intelligent system is not just following rules, but instead is taking initiative? What does it mean for an AI to be agentic, to act with purpose, context-awareness, and adaptability? This book is not another beginner's overview. It is a deep dive into adaptive intelligence, written for readers who want to go beyond buzzwords and understand the inner dynamics of how autonomous systems can perceive, decide, and evolve. Inside, you'll explore: The foundations of agentic intelligence, why ""agents"" are different from conventional models and what makes them adaptive. The decision-making cycle, how perception, reasoning, and action loop together to create purposeful behavior. Adaptive learning mechanisms, the ways systems refine themselves through feedback, reflection, and evolving environments. The human parallel, what agentic AI can teach us about our own cognitive flexibility, resilience, and growth. Future horizons, where agentic intelligence may lead us in science, technology, and society. This book speaks to you if: You've been curious about what lies beneath the surface of AI headlines. You want a clear yet profound explanation of adaptive systems without unnecessary jargon. You're a developer, researcher, or simply a forward-thinker looking to understand the future of autonomy. Instead of overwhelming you with formulas or technical overload, Arlene W. Combs guides you through these concepts with clarity and real-world context, asking you the questions that matter most: What does it mean for intelligence to be adaptive? How do systems evolve beyond pre-programmed boundaries? And what can we, as humans, learn from this new frontier? By the time you finish, you won't just understand the terminology, you'll carry with you a fresh perspective on intelligence itself. So, are you ready to dive deep into the core of agentic AI and uncover what adaptive intelligence truly means?
