Webinar: Agentic AI: AI’s Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Moment

Put simply, “chain-of-thought giveth and chain-of-thought taketh away”.

Agentic AI represents a breakthrough in the AI industry, integrating diverse capabilities such as memory, planning, and tool use. Many of these systems are enabled by or enhanced through chain-of-thought reasoning — a powerful mechanism that supports extensible, interpretable decision-making across various domains.

This opens the door to wide-scale applications in industries ranging from healthcare to logistics, each with the potential to yield significant cost efficiencies. However, chain-of-thought reasoning also expands the failure surface, introducing new vectors for error propagation and unexpected behavior. As deployment accelerates, understanding and mitigating these risks will be essential to ensuring safe and reliable agentic AI.
