As artificial intelligence becomes more autonomous, the conversation is shifting from automation to agency. What happens when AI systems don’t just follow instructions—but make decisions, adapt, and act independently? This session explores the emerging concept of agentic AI and its implications for pharmacy practice, clinical decision-making, and healthcare leadership. We’ll unpack the opportunities and risks of working alongside intelligent agents, and consider how to maintain human oversight, ethical integrity, and professional accountability in this new frontier.

This presentation will address the following learning objectives:

• Define agentic AI
• Explain how agentic AI differs from other AI applications
• Describe current and potential uses of agentic AI
• Assess the opportunties, benefits, and risks of integrating autonomous systems into pharmacy workflows
