# AI Agent vs Agentic AI

> Understanding AI Agents and Agentic AI, and the Role of Obiguard

## Executive Summary

Artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and with it, the terminology and concepts around

complexity in AI systems. Understanding this distinction is crucial for effectively governing
and securing these technologies, a role that solutions like Obiguard are uniquely
positioned to fulfill.
