Unmasking the AI Duo:

  • Generative AI: Creates content (text, images, code) based on prompts. Examples: DALL-E, ChatGPT.
  • Agentic AI: Operates autonomously, sets goals, and makes decisions. Examples: self-driving cars, advanced robotics.

The Core Difference: Agency

  • Gen AI: Works within predefined boundaries (reactive).
  • Agentic AI: Acts independently (proactive).

Real-World Impact

  • Gen AI: Boosts creativity, automates content generation.
  • Agentic AI: Solves complex problems (climate modeling, healthcare diagnostics).

Ethical Considerations

  • Gen AI: Risks include deepfakes and misinformation.
  • Agentic AI: Raises concerns about autonomy and control.

You Should Know:

Hands-on AI Experimentation

1. Running Generative AI Locally (Linux/Mac)

 Install Hugging Face Transformers for Gen AI 
pip install transformers torch

Generate text using GPT-2 
from transformers import pipeline 
generator = pipeline('text-generation', model='gpt2') 
print(generator("The future of AI is", max_length=50))

Generate images with Stable Diffusion 
pip install diffusers 
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline 
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4") 
image = pipe("cyberpunk city at night").images[bash] 
image.save("ai_image.png") 

2. Simulating Agentic AI Behavior

 Autonomous task automation (Python) 
import random

class AgenticAI: 
def <strong>init</strong>(self, goal): 
self.goal = goal

def plan_action(self): 
actions = ["analyze_data", "optimize_path", "predict_outcome"] 
return random.choice(actions)

def execute(self): 
print(f"Agent pursuing goal: {self.goal}") 
action = self.plan_action() 
print(f"Executing: {action}")

ai_agent = AgenticAI("maximize_network_security") 
ai_agent.execute() 

3. Ethical AI Monitoring (Bash)

 Log AI-generated content for audit 
echo "$(date) - AI generated: $(cat output.txt)" >> ai_audit.log

Detect deepfakes with Python 
pip install deepfake-detection 
deepfake-analyze --image=profile.jpg 

4. AI Security Hardening (Linux Commands)

 Restrict AI model access 
sudo chmod 750 /var/lib/ai_models

Monitor AI processes 
ps aux | grep "python.ai_engine"

Block unauthorized AI API calls 
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5000 -j DROP 

What Undercode Say

The evolution from Generative AI to Agentic AI marks a shift from tools to autonomous entities. While Gen AI enhances productivity, Agentic AI introduces self-directed problem-solving. Key takeaways:
– Gen AI: Best for content creation, coding assistance.
– Agentic AI: Future lies in robotics, cybersecurity, and real-time decision-making.
– Security: Always audit AI outputs and restrict permissions.

Prediction: By 2030, Agentic AI will dominate critical infrastructure, requiring new ethical and security frameworks.

Expected Output:

  • AI-generated text/artifacts from code examples.
  • Logs of autonomous agent decisions.
  • Security alerts from unauthorized AI access attempts.
