The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at AAA College of Engineering and Technology, Sivakasi, through its TENSAI student technical association, successfully organized a seminar on “Action-Centric Intelligence: Designing Agentic AI that Thinks, Executes, and Adapts” on September 11, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Sir C.V. Raman Hall, Cambridge Block. The event witnessed participation from 109 students and faculty members and featured Dr. S. Thayammal, Ph.D. (B.S. – IITM), Director of Deep Dive Technologies, as the distinguished chief guest and keynote speaker. Dr. Thayammal brought extensive expertise in advanced AI, machine learning, and intelligent systems, commencing the session with a comprehensive introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning, tracing the evolution from traditional rule-based systems to adaptive and autonomous models. She elaborated on Agentic AI as a transformative class of intelligent systems capable of independently setting goals, planning multi-step strategies, executing complex tasks autonomously, and adapting dynamically with minimal human supervision. The speaker emphasized fundamental design principles including contextual reasoning, autonomous action, adaptive learning, and multi-agent orchestration, enabling AI systems to achieve intelligent, goal-driven operations across diverse domains. The presentation showcased real-world applications spanning finance, healthcare, IT services, cybersecurity, logistics, and research and development, demonstrating the versatility of agentic AI technologies. Participants were introduced to innovative implementations such as Comet, an AI-native browser exemplifying productivity-focused agentic AI through automated summarization and task management, alongside Physical AI applications in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and drones. Dr. Thayammal concluded by outlining future trajectories emphasizing multi-agent collaboration, strategic planning, real-time adaptation, workflow integration, robust feedback mechanisms, and ethical design principles for responsible AI deployment. The seminar successfully inspired participants to perceive artificial intelligence as a transformative force driving innovation, operational efficiency, and adaptive intelligence across all sectors, exemplifying the department’s commitment to bridging theoretical foundations with practical applications and preparing students for the evolving AI landscape.
