GenAI → Agentic Transition
The structural transition from generative AI as an assistant to agentic AI as an actor. Implications: new risk classes, new defensibility requirements, new accountability architecture, new procurement posture, new governance baseline.
First observed: 1 February 2026
Last reviewed: 27 May 2026
Maturity implication
A function still operating under a GenAI-only mental model is mis-classifying its risk surface. The transition to agentic systems requires re-baselining at Pillar 4 (Governance) and Pillar 6 (Vendor) before deployment.
