"The premise of agentic AI is that it goes a step beyond generative AI to take actions, although the term is used to describe systems with varying degrees of autonomy. As one Associated Press headline reads, "tech's newest buzzword is a mix of marketing fluff and real promise." How and when exactly Transportation will be using agentic AI isn't clear. But the technology could help with complaints management, review grant applications for compliance or analyze complex weather and traffic datasets to generate real-time alerts or recommend mitigation strategies,"
"The push for agentic AI across agencies is in line with the Trump administration's pro-AI stance. The government's CIO, Gregory Barbaccia, previously told Nextgov/FCW that AI "is the number one thing that is going to help people mitigate the staffing shortages" after the government has shed hundreds of thousands of employees, pointing to automation as the "holy grail" for federal agencies."
The Transportation Department plans to deploy agentic AI agents to take actions beyond generative AI, potentially automating complaint handling, grant-compliance review, and analysis of weather and traffic data to produce real-time alerts and mitigation recommendations. Agentic systems can vary in autonomy and can perform workflows rather than only generating content. The Food and Drug Administration, the Pentagon, and the Internal Revenue Service have signaled use of agentic workflows for pre-market reviews, inspections, compliance checks, and case summarization. Federal leaders argue AI can help mitigate staffing shortages and expand automation across agencies.
