Agentic means autonomous, or independent. Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities are of increasing interest to the U.S. military and to Congress. According to an IBM definition, “Agentic AI is an artificial intelligence system that can accomplish a specific goal with limited supervision. It consists of AI agents—machine learning models that mimic human decision-making to solve problems in real time…. Unlike traditional AI models, which operate within predefined constraints and require human intervention, agentic AI exhibits autonomy, goal-driven behavior and adaptability.” For an explanation of AI- and machine learning-related terms, see CRS Infographic IG10077, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Taxonomy, by Laurie Harris and Nora Wells. According to the Department of Defense (DOD)—which is “using a secondary Department of War designation” under Executive Order 14347 dated September 5, 2025—Cybersecurity and Information Systems Information Analysis Center, there are “no known official government guidance or policies yet specifically on agentic AI.”
