Overview

Comprehensive review uncovers fundamental safety, privacy, and design challenges in agentic artificial intelligence, highlighting essential pathways toward reliable autonomous systems.

Key Points

  • To synthesize foundational concepts, propose a structural taxonomy, and outline safety and evaluation frameworks for developing trustworthy agentic artificial intelligence.
  • Synthesized insights from philosophy, cognitive science, and machine learning to characterize agency across reinforcement learning, symbolic reasoning, and embodied cognition paradigms.
  • Developed a multi-dimensional taxonomy classifying systems across autonomy, cognitive capability, modality, and environmental interaction.
  • Conducted a systematic analysis of enabling technologies, benchmark suites, verified autonomy methods, and alignment strategies.
  • Identified critical safety, alignment, and privacy vulnerabilities across autonomous agent workflows, demonstrating the necessity of functional closed-loop behavioral evaluations over static testing.
  • Characterized essential technical paths forward, prioritizing hybrid symbolic–neural systems, modular architectures, cooperative multi-agent frameworks, and simulation-based safe exploration.
