Andrew Ng has publicly used the term "agentic" to describe a spectrum of autonomy in artificial intelligence systems.
NOT BSTOTAL BS
NOT BS — Verdict: True
Verified by Lenz ·
The Short Version
Available primary evidence shows Andrew Ng has publicly described “agentic” AI as varying by degree of autonomy rather than as a binary category. DeepLearning.AI materials and Ng-associated videos consistently present that framing. The main caveat is that he may not have originated the concept, but the claim only concerns public usage.
Caveats
This does not establish that Andrew Ng coined the term or the underlying concept; earlier academic work appears to predate his usage.
Some supporting items are course descriptions or summaries, not full verbatim transcripts, so exact wording may sometimes be paraphrased.
Unverified social-media and third-party summary sources are weaker than the DeepLearning.AI and official video evidence.
