Shell's Potential Acquisition of  BP:  Unpacking  the Strategic Implications What Is the Context Behind Shell's Interest in Acquiring BP?

 Agentic AI and the Rise of Autonomous  Workflows in 2025 In 2025, a new concept in artificial intelligence is gaining momentum: agentic AI. These are intelligent systems designed to complete tasks independently, without needing step-by-step instructions from humans. As companies look for smarter ways to manage time and resources, agentic AI is proving to be a game-changer. Moreover, Agentic AI systems can plan, decide, and act across multiple steps. For example, instead of just answering a question or summarizing text, these systems can manage an entire onboarding process for a new employee. They can also schedule meetings, send emails, and even generate reports, all by understanding the goal and taking initiative. Businesses are adopting agentic AI to improve workflow automation. This means now businesses can focus more on  strategic decision-making and spend  less time on repetitive tasks. Furthermore, organisations in finance, healthcare, and the tech sector are ...
