Artificial Intelligence Software and Tools

The AI software and tools landscape rapidly evolves, with generative AI reshaping industries and technologies. 

Agentic AI, enabling semi-autonomous decision-making, will disrupt business applications by 2025, driving shifts toward agent-usage-based pricing and software market consolidation. Generative AI expands beyond text to modalities like images and molecular design, with smaller, task-specific models gaining traction in edge computing and privacy-sensitive applications. 

GenAIOps frameworks are advancing to manage generative AI production, but challenges like scaling costs, governance, and ITOPs integration remain. Data access issues, including quality, sovereignty, and architecture, highlight the need for solutions like vector database scaling and RAG optimization.
