In depth
The agentic economy represents a fundamental shift from tools that humans operate to autonomous agents that make economic decisions, execute transactions, and accumulate wealth independently. This differs from the earlier machine economy (2018-2021) by emphasizing agency and autonomous decision-making rather than just machine-to-machine transactions.
