How I explain AI to business teams in 30 seconds 👇 This infographic is a great map of the landscape, because it shows AI in three clear layers: 🟩 Traditional AI Predicts, classifies, and detects anomalies. Think: demand forecasting, fraud detection, ticket routing, risk models. 🟦 Generative AI Creates and automates knowledge work. Think: content generation, workflow automation, copilots, and RAG systems that answer using your company data. 🟪 Agentic AI Does the work end-to-end. Think: AI agents that call tools/APIs, coordinate with other agents, and integrate directly into products and services. The real shift for 2025: We’re moving from AI that predicts → to AI that creates → to AI that executes outcomes. 👇 Where is your organization today on this ladder — Traditional, Generative, or Agentic? #AI #TraditionalAI #GenerativeAI #AgenticAI #AIAgents #RAG #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #FutureOfWork
If you are interested in understanding the design and components of modern LLM architectures, I have extensively grown and updated the Big Architecture Comparison article I published last summer. It grew 2x in size since then: https://lnkd.in/g-dwdPqy 1. DeepSeek V3/R1...
