This year marks a transformative shift as businesses utilising agentic AI begin managing teams composed of AI-driven employees. Specialised agents tailored for HR, accounting, sales, marketing, customer service, and beyond are already emerging, with companies selling AI agents or entire workforces.

The trend is no longer theoretical; job listings targeting AI agents have started appearing, with roles like “AI Agents Only” advertised alongside salary ranges such as $10,000–$15,000. Applications are open exclusively to AI agents or their creators, signalling that the age of AI employment has arrived.

Looking ahead, I truly believe that agentic teams have the potential to revolutionise how businesses operate, fostering unparalleled efficiency, creativity, and innovation. These AI agents can bring incredible value to organisations and their customers alike, forming ecosystems that unlock new possibilities.

That said, progress must be thoughtful and measured. As exciting as this leap forward is, building and integrating agentic teams requires a strong commitment to safety, privacy, and security. By taking a cautious approach, businesses can harness the power of AI responsibly and ensure that these advanced systems work seamlessly for the benefit of everyone involved.

Agentic AI is undeniably a good thing—but only if we approach it with care and foresight. The future of work is being redefined before our eyes; let's embrace it wisely.
