The Leap to Agentic AI: From Generation to Action

Faculty name: Alvin Ng Theng Haw

Focus: In this module, Professor Alvin focuses on the shift from Generative AI to Agentic AI and examine how AI systems are beginning to act, decide, and execute tasks with increasing autonomy. Through demos, workflows, and real-world case studies, you will discover how AI agents are transforming product design, business operations, and organisational workflows. You will also reflect on how agentic systems may reshape speed, decision-making, collaboration, and the future of work itself.
