Agentic AI: The Evolution of
Autonomous Systems
IEEE-Style Project Report
Prepared for Diploma Seminar
Abstract
This report is based on the uploaded presentation 'Agentic AI: The Evolution of
Autonomous Systems'. It explains the evolution of artificial intelligence from symbolic
systems to modern agentic AI. The report discusses historical milestones, the agentic
loop, modern agent architecture, applications, advantages, challenges, and future scope.
Keywords

Transformers, Large Language Models, RAG
1. Introduction
Artificial Intelligence has evolved from rule-based systems into intelligent autonomous
agents. Agentic AI can observe, reason, act and reflect while interacting with tools and
external environments.
